The Pyramid of Khafre, built for Pharaoh Khafre (son of Khufu), stands prominently on the Giza Plateau. Though slightly smaller than his father’s pyramid, its elevated location and surviving limestone casing at the top give it a grand appearance. Constructed around 2570 BCE, it is accompanied by a well-preserved mortuary temple and causeway. Most notably, the Great Sphinx—carved from a single limestone outcrop—guards the pyramid complex. The Sphinx is believed to represent Khafre himself, linking divine kingship with monumental architecture. The precision and craftsmanship of the pyramid demonstrate the sophistication of Fourth Dynasty engineering and religious ideology. Khafre’s complex provides insights into the royal funerary practices and remains a major draw for tourists and scholars alike.
