Jacqueline Walton · Answer 2

Answer: A. He ordered the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Explanation:

Khufu (2589-2566 B. C.), or Cheops, as the Greeks called him, the son of Sneferu, built the Great Pyramid. The Pyramid was the highest building in the world until the Eiffel Tower was built in 1889. To talk about numbers, The Great Pyramid is 480 feet high, with the base covering 13,5 acres and made of more than 2 millions blocks, averaging in 2.5 tons each one of them. No architectural papyri exist describing how to build temples or pyramids, it was apparently a trade secret.
