Giza or Gizah (Arabic: الجيزة, transliterated el-Gīzah) is the third largest city in Egypt. It is located on the west bank of the Nile river, some 20 km southwest of central Cairo. Along with Shubra El-Kheima, Cairo and Helwan, the 4 cities form the Province of Greater Cairo metropolis. The city of Giza 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

Q. In biblical tales, Moses brought it out of Egypt with him. He was educated at the pharaoh's court, Where would they have kept such an item of power originally? Was it already serving a purpose when it was removed? Radioactive sand was found inside the great pyramid - could this be a clue? Asked by Mr. P - Sun Jul 27 15:16:21 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. It's highly doubtful, since the Ark of the Covenant wasn't constructed until they were well out of Egypt, and Egypt was pretty well opposed to anything Moses might say. Not to mention, the pyramids were completed in Moses' time by most reckoning, likely sealed with a dead body inside. They were royal burial chambers, not a research lab or temple.
