The 7 Wonders of the World – The Great Pyramid of Gizeh

One of the 7 Wonders of the World is the Great Pyramid of Gizeh.

Built in the Fourth Dynasty by the Pharaos, they are the only ancient wonder that can still be seen today, dating from between 2690 and 2160 BC. They were the first to be created for what remains an enigmatic purpose.

The size of the Great Pyramid of Gizeh (including basis) is:

Chris Blackwell

Christopher Blackwell (1951) has been Display Director at Fortnum & Mason/London for over 15 years. He has won numerous prestigious awards for his work. With a team of 12 other British artists, each a specialist in his field, he has created one (unique) set of scale models of the 7 Wonders of the World.

Being obsessed by them since his early youth, he finally seized his chance in the late 1980’s to realize his ultimate dream: he lovingly crafted them in a time span of about 18 months on the basis of 16th century sketches by Jacob van Heemskerck. The originals of these sketches are in the possession of museum Boymans-van Beuningen in Rotterdam/Netherlands.
