Giza, also spelled Gizeh, is a city located in Egypt which lay along the Great Circle.
The Great Pyramid of Pharaoh Khufu, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, was built there along with the Great Sphinx and other sites of antiquity which represent the Ancient Egyptian culture as a cradle of civilization.
In the late 1930s, a smaller settlement was situated on the outskirts of the city proper.
History[]
Having already foiled a Nazi excavation a year prior at nearby Tanis; in 1937, Indiana Jones discovered that the Third Reich had launched a dig in Giza during the archaeologist's investigation of the Great Circle.[4]
