The Great Pyramid in Giza ruled as the world's tallest structure for nearly 4,000 years. It was originally standing at 480 feet and was built as a tomb for Egyptian pharaoh King and remains a majestic structure. But in 1311, when the majestic Lincoln Cathedral was completed, the pyramid lost its majestic status. It was the world's biggest behemoth and stayed so until 1549.

Ted Thornhill had a blast riding it on his road bike, but first had to tame feared Wrynose Pass and Birker Fell.
