Every king wanted his tomb to be the finest. But Khufu outdid them all. The surface of his pyramid used to shine with smooth white limestone, and its top came to a sharp point. Inside, the body of Khufu rested in a great stone coffin. His body was preserved to last forever, and about him lay many treasures. Now after many years, weather has worn away the shining surface, and men have taken some of the huge stones to build other: things. Thieves have stolen the treasures, and they have even stolen the body of Khufu himself. Today, the sides of the Great Pyramid are no longer smooth and white. The lime- stone is gone. The huge stones are exposed and you can climb them, like steps, to the top. When you have reached the top, you can see miles around you. You can see the smaller Pyramids and the Sphinx, the great stone statue of the lion with a human head.To the west.you can see the Libyan Desert;to the east，you can see the green Nile Valley and the modern city of Cairo.
