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. A number of buildings and structures have fought for the world's tallest in decades since, including the Eiffel Tower and the Empire State Building. Burj Khalifa, the current holder of Dubai's 2,722feet, is the current holder, but another shining example of Middle Eastern prowess will be overtaken shortly. When completed, Jeddah Tower will stand at 3,281 feet, making it the first building in history to surpass 1 km. MailOnline has created an incredible interactive map that shows the tallest buildings since the Great Pyramid was completed in 2570 BC.
