The Pyramid of Khafre
The Pyramid of Khafre is the second-tallest and second-largest of the ancient Pyramids of Giza. Historians reckon it was built for the Fourth-Dynasty pharaoh Khafre, who ruled from c. 2558 to 2532 BC.
Owing to the wear and tear of nature and human intervention, the pyramid now stands at 136.4 meters in height compared to its original height of 143.5 m or 471 ft, Khafre’s pyramid has a total volume of 2,211,096 cubic meters (78,084,118 cu ft) securing it it’s second place. It bears the Great Sphinx of Giza in its neigbourhood.
