20060321r_KhufuKhafre
The Great Pyramid of Khufu is on the left; it looks lower than the pyramid of Khafre (his son) on the right, partly because it's farther away, and partly because it is built on lower ground. Notice the top part of Khufu's is missing; for some reason I had never realized this before. At the far left is seating for the annual performances of the opera "Aida", the love story of an Egyptian general and an enslaved Ethiopian princess. (Now that would be something to see!)
