Description
The Great Pyramid of Giza is the largest Egyptian pyramid and served as the tomb of pharaoh Khufu, who ruled during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom. Built in the early 26th century BC, over a period of about 27 years, The Pyramid is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and the only one that has remained largely intact. It symbolizes the spiritual beliefs of the Egyptians and serves as a pathway to the afterlife for pharaohs.
The digital initiatives surrounding the Pyramids align with SDG 4 (Quality Education). Virtual accessibility ensures a wider reach, promoting global cultural exchange and understanding. Targets
4.4 and 4.7 emphasize skills development and knowledge acquisition for sustainable development. By utilizing digital platforms, the Pyramids contribute to achieving these targets, providing relevant skills and promoting a culture of peace and non-violence.
