Pyramid of Menkaure, Egyptian pyramid in Giza
The Pyramid of Menkaure is the smallest of the three main Pyramids of Giza, located on the Giza Plateau in Cairo, Egypt.
Commissioned by the fourth dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh Menkaure, it's primarily constructed from limestone and granite.
It holds a significant role in Egyptian culture, known as a repository for royal mummification and funerary processes.
It can be explored during a visit to the Giza Plateau, which also hosts other historical landmarks.
This pyramid distinguishes itself with its unusual lower casing made out of granite rather than limestone.
