The Pyramids of Giza over Angkor Wat
This map shows an aerial view of The Pyramids of Giza super-imposed over Angkor Wat in Cambodia. People usually think of the Pyramids as being some of the most massive structures on earth, but they are dwarfed by Angkor Wat, which could fit all the pyramids and the sphinx, as well as Taj Mahal and its gardens!
