Wall of the Crow

Your next stop on your tour will be the Wall of the Crow. This spot is usually glossed over on most peoples site seeing tours to Giza but features some magnificent workmanship on the building of it. The wall is 656 feet (200 meters) long 32.8 feet (10 meters) tall and 10 meters thick at the base of it. Though we do not know why the wall was built historians come up with various ideas regarding its usage. Speculation has been that it could have been a gateway marking sacred land from that which is not sacred, the pyramid complex on one side the other meant for people to live and work. Another theory is that the Egyptians used this as flood control for the complex. They wanted to make sure their sacred pyramids did not get harmed by the Nile flooding. The historical significance of this site is because we really do not know why the Egyptians built it. There really is no writing about what it could have been we are just left with our best guesses which to me is a even more awesome we likely will never know what their purpose for it was.
