Why is only Khufus Great Pyramid a wonder and not the pyramids surrounding it?
The three Great Pyramids are sometimes referred to as a Wonder, but it is actually the Great Pyramid that is only listed. It appears that when Herodotus compiled his list, he properly attributed the pyramids to different builders. The Pyramid of Khufu was built first and therefore earns a special place compared to the other two pyramids that were modeled later after Khufu’s.
