Description Keops is the largest of the 3 pyramids on Giza.
I sat down and pointed up to get a Frog-perspective on it.
Hard to see how tall it is from that angle, So here is some information

Date: About 2550 Before Christ

Hight: 146,5 meters before and 138,7m today due to damage over time.

blocks: About 2 million blocks with a average weight of 2,5 tons. Meaning total weight of about 5 million tons

Other Pyramide shot it took at Giza: [link]

What a coincidence, a couple of minutes ago, just before coming here, I was reading a book about the Egyptian pyramids (I normally never read books about Egyptians) and then I come here to see a photo of one of them (and I'm pretty sure this is the first time ever that I see a photo of a pyramid on deviantart...)

Thank you I used photoshop for making the blue-tone greener, for a golder tone in the rocks, selective sharpen, and low blur to the skies to bring out the contrast between hard and soft

Thank you I almost always work on the colors one way or another, here i made the blue 50% greener and added a yellow overlay to the whole image.
