These pyramids are located right next to Giza. The largest pyramid is king Khufu's. It is the pyramid in the middle. The two smaller smaller pyramids were built as tombs for the wives and the children of the king. In the tombs are personal possessions and everything he needs to go to the after life.

Pyramidal Orchid (Anacamptis pyramidalis) at Ludwell Valley Park, Pynes Hill, Exeter, Devon, England.
There was just one plant again where I first saw one in 2008.
A widespread, but local orchid on limestone and chalk, and near the coast especially on dunes. It's not very common in Devon due to the scarcity of calcareous soils.

Teotihuacan is one of the most famous and important sites of ancient Mexico, best known for it's enormous Avenue of the Dead and the great pyramids of the Sun and Moon.
Although the site was known in Aztec times as the 'Birthplace of the Gods' it is actually significantly older, with most of the major structures built between 100-250AD and the city, one of the largest ever ancient settlements in the Americas, was believed to have been still inhabited up to the 8th century.
Today the vast scale of the complex, particularly the so called Avenue of the Dead, nearly 3km long and flanked by ancient ruins and terraces, continues to awe visitors. At the north end of the Avenue sits the Pyramid of the Moon, whilst it's much larger counterpart, the Pyramid of the Sun, sits halfway up it's eastern side. At the southern end sits the Ciudadela complex which centres on the smaller pyramid of Quetzelcoatl, earlier and more ruined than the larger pyramids but retaining it's stunning original sculptural decoration on part of it's western face, featuring the iconic feathered serpent heads.
Aside from the great ceremonial structures there are also residential buildings, particularly the palatial complex at the north west corner that retains some vivid fragments of it's original mural decoration.

AL-BARA,Idleb,Syria
After humble beginnings in the 4th century AD, Al-Bara grew into one of the most important centers of wine and olive oil production in the area.
Surrounded by rich, fertile land and situated along the north-south trade route between Antioch and Apamea, Al-Bara prospered and grew, even after the trade routes shifted in the 7th century and most other settlements were abandoned.
