Giza Necropolis, also called the Pyramids of Giza, is an archaeological site located on the Giza Plateau, outside Cairo, Egypt. This complex of ancient monuments includes the three pyramid complexes known as the Great Pyramids, the massive sculpture known as the Great Sphinx, several cemeteries, a working village and an industrial complex. The word pyramid does not come from the Egyptian language. It was formed from the Greek "pyra" (which means fire, light, symbol) and "midos" (which means measures).
