Giza or Gizah (Arabic: الجيزة, transliterated el-Gīzah) is a town in Egypt on the west bank of the Nile river, some 20 km southwest of central Cairo and now part of the greater Cairo metropolis. It is the capital of the Giza Governorate, and is located near the northeast border of this governorate in coordinates. It is located right on the banks of the River Nile. The city's population was 2,681,863 in the 2006 national census, while the governate had 6,272,571 at the same census. Its large population makes it the second largest suburb in the world, tied with Incheon, Korea and Quezon City, Philippines, second only to Yokohama, Japan. Giza is most famous as the location of the Giza Plateau: the site of some of the most impressive ancient monuments in the world, including a complex of ancient Egyptian royal mortuary and sacred structures, including the Great Sphinx, the Great Pyramid of Giza, and a number of other large pyramids and temples. The plateau and its monuments have been recorded in the Giza Plateau Mapping Project run by Ancient Egypt Research Associates, directed by Dr. Mark Lehner. AERA's 2009 field season was recorded in a blog. The Great Pyramid of Giza at one time was advocated (1884) as the location for the Prime Meridian, a reference point used for determining a base longitude. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Making the Great Pyramid of Giza to scale? Q. In my algebra class, we have to make a model of the Great Pyramid of Giza to scale. The height is 146.6 meters, the length on each side is 231 meters, the base covers 13 acres (53000 square meters). If you could PLEASE find the dimensions to scale, I would be very thankful! And on our scale model, what would one inch represent. Like, 1 inch= 20 meters on the actual pyramid or something like that. Thank you! Asked by TRS*fan!!(: - Tue Feb 19 13:13:07 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. if you pick 1 inch = 20 meters: your dimensions will be (h=height,b=base) (easy, to get the inches of your scale model, just divide by 20 meters) h :146.6 m/ 20 m = 7.33 inch b: 231.0 m/20 m = 11.55 inch actually, to make life/cutting whatever a bit easier, you could take 1 inch = 21 meters h = then 7 inch, b = 11 inch.
