Pyramid of Khafre, Egyptian pyramid in Giza, Egypt
The Pyramid of Khafre measures 143.5 meters in height and 215 meters at its base, making it the second largest pyramid in the Giza complex.
Construction of the pyramid occurred between 2558 and 2532 BCE during the Fourth Dynasty of ancient Egypt under the reign of Pharaoh Khafre.
The pyramid forms part of an extensive burial complex containing temples, subsidiary pyramids, and the Great Sphinx, demonstrating Egyptian funeral traditions.
Visitors enter the pyramid through a tunnel created during Roman times, leading to internal chambers and passageways carved from limestone blocks.
The pyramid retains portions of its original polished limestone casing at its apex, while other Egyptian pyramids have lost their exterior covering.
