Historical Background

The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), located near the Giza Plateau, is intended to house and display artifacts from ancient Egypt, including those previously kept at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. The Giza Pyramids, built during Egypt’s Old Kingdom (around 2580–2560 BCE), consist mainly of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, along with the Great Sphinx, a limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, believed to represent Khafre.
