Great Pyramid of Giza
The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex, bordering El Giza, Egypt. It is believed that the pyramid was built as a tomb for the fourth Dynasty Egyptian pharaoh, Khufu and was constructed over a twenty-year period. It is believed by many that Khufu’s vizier, Hemon, or Hemiunu, is the architect who designed the pyramid. It remained the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. Also, experts estimate that it would cost around $5 billion to build a replica today.
So, over the centuries, we have seen many great civil engineering projects that have become historic landmarks and icons. Engineering has created some of the biggest structures in the world, and are a showcase of our ability to construct a unique vision. Every engineer will have a different opinion on the most impressive creations, but these ten are widely considered the greatest. However, there are many other engineering creations that have impressed the world, such as the Millau viaduct, which is the tallest cable-stayed road bridge in the world. Also, as recently as 2015, the Shanghai Tower skyscraper in China, was completed and it’s now the second-tallest building in the world. The future is bright for engineering, as advanced technology will pave the way for even more stunning creations.
