Pyramids of Giza, Egypt  Comprising the Pyramid fields from Giza to Dahshur, including the majestic Great Sphinx, the Old Kingdom of Egypt was considered to be one of the seven wonders of the world in Hellenistic times, and remains the only inscription on the original list still in existence. Fantastically preserved, the dozens of tombs buried in the shadows of the famous pyramids have provided archaeologists a glimpse into one of the world's most fascinating civilizations.
