Only Wonder of the Ancient World still standing, a bloody lot of large stones cut precisely, put together even more precisely and after three thousand years still impressive. Sadly can't climb 'em like in the good old days.

Right: It is smaller than you think (that's what they say about the Mona Lisa as well) but it is all about location, location, location.
