[:ja]リッキー・アーノルド宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影したクフ王のピラミッドです。
ギザの大ピラミッドは、エジプトのギザに建設された、世界の七不思議で唯一現存する建造物です。紀元前5世紀のギリシャの歴史家ヘロドトスの『歴史』において、「クフ王のピラミッド」として報告されていますが、この時点で建設から2000年以上経過していました。建築年代については諸説あり、一般的にエジプト第4王朝のファラオ、クフ王の墳墓として紀元前2560年頃に20年前後かけて建築されたと考えられています。

[Earthview Wonders] No.661: Khufu’s Pyramid🇪🇬
Astronaut Ricky Arnold captured from ISS Khufu’s Pyramid, Egypt.
A pyramid is a structure whose outer surfaces are triangular and converge to a single point at the top, making the shape roughly a pyramid in the geometric sense. The base of a pyramid can be trilateral, quadrilateral, or of any polygon shape. Khufu’s Pyramid, built mainly of limestone (with large red granite blocks used in some interior chambers), contains over 2,000,000 blocks ranging in weight from 2.5 – 15t and is built on a square base with sides measuring about 230m, covering 13 acres.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
