This pyramid is thought to have been built between 2589 - 2566 BC - the Fourth Dynasty by the Pharaoh Khufu.
Jomard remembered that both Strabo and Diodorus Siculus, the Greek first-century BC historian, had both reported that the apothegm of the Pyramid measured precisely one stadium of 600 Greek feet--the same stadium from which our modern stadium is derived--and, more importantly, that this measure was accurately related to the size of the Earth.
From further perusal of the classics, Jomard knew that a stadium of 600 feet was considered 1/600 of a geographical degree.

 The Giza Plateau and the Great Pyramids   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The group of pyramid complexes of the 4th Dynasty of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure form the three most famous pyramids in Egypt together with the Great Sphinx, and are the only remaining "wonders" from the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
The earliest monument at Giza is mastaba V which probably dates to the reign of the 1st Dynasty ruler Djet (c.2980 BC).
The site of this pyramid is on a slight eminence and retains some of its limestone casing at the apex, and it therefore actually appears larger than that of Khufu, and is often mistaken as the Great Pyramid.
