commissioned the construction of a tomb larger and grander than any
before. The three pyramids—Cheops (Khufu), Chephren (Khafra), and
Mycerinus (Menkaura)—stand as monumental feats of ancient
engineering. The Great Pyramid, built by King Khufu of the Fourth
Dynasty, is the largest. His son, King Khafra, constructed the
second pyramid, while the third was built by Menkaura, the son of
Khafra.
The mysterious Sphinx, with the face of Khafra and the body of a
lion, stands nearby, guarding the land of the Pharaohs. The Sphinx
and the three pyramids are considered one of the Seven Wonders of
the Ancient World.
