| | The Pyramids and Temples of Gizeh by Sir Flinders Petrie - Historical Notes |
 | | Khafra * has, on the strength of the historians, been considered by most writers as the builder of the Second Pyramid but there was, till lately, no monumental evidence on this point. |
 | | About three years ago, however, the great causeway was discovered which led from the lower granite temple, where the statues of Khafra were found, to the upper temple by the Second Pyramid. |
 | | Next, looking at the historical side of the question, this Pyramid (as all writers are agreed) cannot be earlier than the Pyramids of Khufu and Khafra, by reason of its inferiority of position; the poorer site was accepted for it, in a way that clearly stamps it as being later. |
