Blocks at the Base of the Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu)The size of the blocks in the pyramid are huge. When the limestone casing that formed the smooth sides of the pyramids was stripped away, the remaining blocks formed a type of rough stairway to the top. During the era of the Amelia Peabody Detective Series, tourist climbed the Great Pyramid with the help of guides. The small sign on the pyramid says that it is now forbidden to climb the pyramid.
