The Pyramids of Giza, located just outside Cairo, Egypt, are some of the most well-known and lasting monuments from ancient times. Built during the Old Kingdom period, roughly 2686-2181 BCE, these massive structures have captured the imagination of many for thousands of years. The Giza complex consists of three main pyramids: the Great Pyramid of Khufu (also known as Cheops), the Pyramid of Khafre (Chephren), and the Pyramid of Menkaure (Mykerinos). Currently, the 2024 Djibouti Silver Pyramids of Giza 3-Coin Sets are available at BGASC.

Designs

The coins in the 2024 Djibouti Silver Pyramids of Giza 3-Coin Set include the national coat of arms on the base of each coin, along with identifying hallmarks. Each coin features a design that reflects one of the three main pyramids from the Giza complex. The Great Pyramid, the largest and oldest of the three, was constructed for Pharaoh Khufu and is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World that remains largely intact today. Originally standing at 146.5 meters (481 feet), it held the title of the tallest man-made structure for over 3,800 years.

History

Despite years of exploration, many aspects of the pyramids remain unclear. Scholars are still discussing the precise methods used in their construction, especially regarding how the enormous stone blocks were moved and positioned with the tools available at that time. While it is widely accepted that the pyramids served as royal tombs, their full significance continues to spark interest and debate. Regardless, the Pyramids of Giza remain a remarkable symbol of ancient Egyptian culture and engineering.
