Ancient Egyptians saw the pyramid as the primal hill, the  creator’s birthplace and throne. It’s golden capstone was their point  of contact with the Gods. According to current archaeological belief,  the pyramid was built as a funerary tomb for Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops in  Greek) but the only funerary element that remains is a stone  sarcophagus, and no sign of a mummy or other funerary elements has been  detected. Covering 13 acres, it contains 2.3 million blocks of limestone  ranging in weight from 2.5 to 15 tons stacked to a height of 481 feet  for the original pyramid which now stands at 450 feet high. Before the  outer limestone blocks were stripped, each side measured 755 feet, now  746 feet. The great pyramid was built with an extraordinary array of  mathematical and astronomical measurements that required advance  scientific knowledge. The building effort must have been monumental for  that epoch and probably took place over an extended period of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eCold cast resin with sandstone finish, it is 9 1\/2 inches high.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResin is a polymer which can be used for making molds as well as cast in  molds. Cold-cast resin is generally for sculpture and means that the  resin material is cast without the need for the extreme heat of a  foundry. It holds very sharp detail when cast. Most of the major lines  of figurines on the market today are made of cold cast resin. It is  fragile if dropped and fractures similar to glass, usually in clean  pieces which can be glued using a household super glue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"attribute\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan itemprop=\"width\"\u003e15.50in Long\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"depth\"\u003e x 6.00in Deep\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"height\"\u003e x 9.50in High\u003c\/span\u003e (approximate)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Nicholas Brooklyn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48946164826295,"sku":"00041","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0755\/2503\/0071\/files\/240386411.jpg?v=1785608146","url":"https:\/\/checkout.nicholasbrooklyn.com\/products\/giza-plateau-large-resin-sphinx-statue","provider":"Nicholas Brooklyn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
