Answer:

13 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

The Great Pyramid of Khufu is located 15km south of Cairo, Egypt. This monstrous structure occupies 13 acres. The pyramid was originally built with blocks of polished limestone, which gave it a shiny and reflective surface (this cover was destroyed during the Arab invasions many centuries later). It is considered one of the great engineering marvels of history, and a satisfactory explanation of its construction has yet to be found.
