The United States would hold the position of the world's tallest building throughout the 20th century until 1998, when the Petronas Towers were completed. The first skyscraper was pioneered in Chicago with the 138 ft (42.1 m) Home Insurance Building in 1885. The Strasbourg Cathedral in France, completed in 1439, was the world's tallest building until 1874. Historically, the world's tallest man-made structure was the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, which held the position for over 3,800 years until the construction of Lincoln Cathedral in 1311.
