The real place
Built for the Fourth Dynasty king Khufu around 2560 BCE, it is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing. The smooth white limestone casing shown in the game has almost all been stripped away.
Visiting
Going inside needs a separate ticket on top of the Giza plateau entry, and the passages are steep and cramped. Arrive at opening time to avoid the heat and the tour-bus crowds.
