People climb the pyramid, and also go inside. In the very heart of the
Great Pyramid is a tomb chamber, where we see the empty coffin of Cheops
or Khufu. The tomb was rifled long ago, and no one knows where the king's
ashes are.
Ascent to the summit of the Great Pyramid means arduous climbing; but it
is worth while simply for the view it affords of the desert. Most of us
imagine the desert as a level of white sand. I thought so until I saw it
from the summit of this pyramid. The desert stretches off in long waves,
and does not seem like a plain, but rather like the rolling ocean.
