The Great Pyramid of Giza was the largest pyramid at Giza in Egypt, Earth.
A group of anthropologists from 2769 observed its construction. They followed all of the proper time travel protocols as established by the Temporal Accord. In 2151, Daniels showed temporal these anthropologists to Captain Archer in the Temporal Observatory. (ENT: "Cold Front")
The Great Pyramid was also among the images displayed by the Guardian of Forever. (TOS: "The City on the Edge of Forever")
The USS Discovery having travelled to 3189, Sylvia Tilly anxiously wondered whether anything familiar on Earth had survived from their native 23rd century, including the Giza pyramids. (DIS: "People of Earth")
The Great Pyramid is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the oldest but also the only one to survive into the modern age, and as such was implied to have been mentioned off-screen by Neelix in "11:59". It was built in approximately 2560 BCE. The image seen in the Guardian of Forever, while clearly intending to be the Great Pyramid shortly after its construction, is actually from centuries later as the limestone casings and outer bricks have all been removed, which occurred mostly during the Caliphate Middle Ages in Egypt.
