The ultimate in truly awesome structures for me (and many many others since ancient times) is also the most obvious and popular, the The Great Pyramid of Ghiza, “Khufu’s Horizon.” You can see the pictures and read the descriptions, but they don’t even begin to do it justice. It is not a building so much as an artificial mountain. It always seem much closer than it is until you are right up on it and it blots out the sky.

My foreign study group in college got to climb through the tunnels inside the Great Pyramid. I was thrilled to be there, and also to stand in the same spot that Napoleon stood.
