The Great Pyramid of Giza is, in addition to being the largest of the Egyptian pyramids, the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and the only one still standing. It was ordered to be built by Pharaoh Khufu of the Fourth Dynasty of Ancient Egypt. Regarding the architect of this work, some scholars name Hemiunu, but this is not proven.

The estimated completion date of the Great Pyramid is around 2600 BC, making it the first and largest of the three great pyramids in the Giza necropolis, located on the outskirts of Cairo. It was the tallest building on Earth for 3,800 years, until it was surpassed in the 14th century by the spire of Lincoln Cathedral in England, and the tallest stone building in the world until well into the 19th century, when it was surpassed by the spire of St. Nicholas Church in Hamburg.

The Acropolis of Athens can be considered the most representative of the Greek acropolises. The acropolis was the citadel, literally the upper city, and was present in most Greek cities with a dual function: defensive and as the site of the main places of worship. The Acropolis of Athens is located on a peak that rises 156 meters above sea level.

The entrance to the Acropolis is through the enclosing wall through a large gate called the Propylaea, on the right side of which is the temple of Athena Nike (Victorious). Beyond the Propylaea, a large bronze statue of Athena, made by Phidias, could be seen in a central position, but unfortunately lost today. To the right (from the Propylaea) is the Parthenon, or temple of Athena Parthenos (the Virgin). On the left is the Erechtheion, with its famous stoa (στοά) or tribune supported by six caryatids. On the southern slope of the acropolis, outside the walls and below, are the remains of other buildings, including the open-air Theatre of Dionysus, where Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, and Aristophanes premiered their plays.
