	Mosque/Marasa, Sabil-Kuttab and Mausoleum Complex of Ashraf Barsbay in Cairo, Egypt
		Khafre (Chephren), the builder of the second pyramid on the famous Giza Plateau near Cairo is a fine example.
		He is also sometimes refereed to as Khafra, Rakhaef, Khephren or Chephren by the Greeks, and Suphis II by Manetho.
		He was possibly a younger son of Khufu (Cheops) by his consort, Henutsen, so he was required to wait out the reign of Djedefre, his older brother, prior to ascending to the throne of Egypt as the fourth ruler of the fourth Dynasty.

	Electromagnetic Sounder Experiments at the Pyramids of Giza
		Following the first propagation experiment between the two Chephren chambers, but prior to the discovery of the fact that losses in bedrock were very high, a second set of experiments was set up to study one-way and two-way propagation between Belzoni's chamber and the north face of the pyramid (Figure 7).
		To the west of Chephren's pyramids is a vertical cliff five to thirty feet high in which numerous tombs for nobles were cut when the pyramid was built.
		Observations of Chephren's pyramid in the passageway within the bedrock leading to Belzoni's chamber show that there is a section of approximately 40 ft where the walls, floor, and ceiling of the foundational structure have been replaced with limestone blocks.

		Chephren was the ruler for whom the second pyramid on the Giza plateau was constructed and it is probable that the Great Sphinx was carved in his image.

		The sphinx crouches at the foot of Chephren's causeway.
		Allthough Chepren is generally said to be the creator of it, the face bears striking resemblance to Chephren's older brother, Radjedef, who ruled for a short time after Cheops' death.
		Probably Radjedef was usurped by Chephren (the layout of the Chephren pyramid with the two descending passages looks like a building site that has been taken over by someone else who wanted to build a larger and better pyramid).

		I suggested to Alvarez that to unambiguously state that there are no other chambers in Chephren's pyramid, one would have to repeat the measurement using horizontal muons—those that make an angle greater than 45° to zenith—and that the detector should be on the ground outside the pyramid.
		The intensity of the horizontal muons is much lower than that of the vertical ones, but the horizontal muons have the advantage of being "hardened" by their longer passage through the atmosphere.
		To exclude the existence of chambers in the Chephren pyramid, an experiment with horizontal muons is called for.

		However there is no actual evidence to support this dating; the link with Chephren has been assumed given that The Great Sphinx shares the Giza plateau with the Ancient Egyptian Pyramids of which the greatest was believed to have been built by Chephren.
		He concluded that the chin of the Sphinx is far more prominent that that of Chephren, and more importantly, that a line drawn from the ear to the corner of the Sphinx’s mouth sloped at an angle of 32 degrees.
		Given that it is clearly not Chephren, who then might it may actually be?W will never know for certain but perhaps a clue lies in the overall shape of the Sphinx.

		Khufu's throne was a spin off from Snefru's, and did not last long after Snefru's death, attested by the fact that the pyramid of Khufu's progeny Menkaure, the third and smallest of Giza's three pyramids, was not finished prior to Menkaure's death.
