Have you ever heard of the Seven Wonders of the World?
If you have never been to one today, we would like to begin by bringing you some information about them, starting with the Pyramid of Giza in Egypt.
The pyramid you see in the pictures above is amazing; It was built thousands of years ago, around 2580 - 2560 BC. History has it that it was built by an Egyptian prince named Pharaoh Khufus, as the tomb of the great Egyptian emperors known as Pharaohs, and even the richest of the time.
Its height is 146.7 meters which is 481 feet. The Giza  Pyramid as it is known, is 230.34 meters or 455 feet wide. A brick of large stones the size of a mercedece-benz, was used in building it, with help of million slaves sent from far and wide to the place where it was built.
History has shown that it took 20 years to build this pyramid and it is currently 3,800 years old.
The site is designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site and as one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

The Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF) has described the militant attack on the Benue State governor as "shocking" and "scary".  Governor Samuel Ortom's delegation was attacked by gunmen on Saturday on the Makurdi-Gboko road, when he visited his farm.  In a statement issued by the group's chairman and Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi on Sunday, the NGF congratulated Ortom for the escape from the attack which it said was "scary and offensive".  Inspector General of Police Mohammed Adamu also condemned the attack and ordered that security be beefed up on the governor and an investigation launched.  "The NGF has said in a loud voice that efforts to rehabilitate Benue State will not succeed," the statement said.  "One of the relatives of a former governor of the state was recently killed. This kind of act of violence must be stopped for whatever reason to kill the people of Benue."
