	Pyramid of Khafre - Chepren - Crystalinks
		Khafre's pyramid is hardly smaller than the one of his father, Khufu.
		The most distinctive feature of Khafre's Pyramid is the topmost layer of smooth stones that are the only remaining casing stones on a Giza Pyramid.
		Khafre whose older brother Djedefre died after a few years of governance, dreamed of having the biggest pyramid ever, even bigger than the one of Cheops, his dead father.

	Egyptian Pharaohs : Old Kingdom : Dynasty 4 : Khafre
		Khafre took the throne upon the death of his older half-brother, Djedefre (there is some thought that he might have killed him, given the short reign of Djedefre) and is best known as the builder of the second pyramid at Giza and, of course, the giant Sphinx.
		Khafre's marriage to Hetepheres III, a granddaughter of Khufu, most likely was meant to solidify his claim to the throne.
		My personal belief is that Khafre recarved the head of an existing animal-headed sphinx when he built his temples in the valley (a totally non-scientific belief based on the fact that the head looks way too small for the body).

		As mentioned, the length of the Khafre Pyramid, under its standard foot and inch code (rounded PHI @ 1.62 inches) was 15/16th that of the Great Pyramid and its side angle was 53.13010235 degrees (one of the angles of 3,4,5 triangulation).

		Ideologically, Khafre continued Djedefre's promotion of the cult of the sun god re by using the title " the Son of the Sun" for himself and by incorporating the name of the god in his own.
		Its position next to Khafre's causeway and certain architectural details indicate that it was an integral part of the pyramid area; that colossal lion statue with the head of the King, carved out of a sandstone outcrop, represents Khafre as the god Horus presenting offerings to the sun god.
		Like his father Khufu, Khafre was depicted in folk tradition as a harsh, despotic rule: His pyramid complex was used as a quarry in the late New Kingdom, and the lining slabs and statues were removed to adorn other temples and royal establishments.

	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 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.
		However, there is little real evidence to support such a conclusion, and in fact, Khafre continued Djedefre’s promotion of the cult of the sun god Re by using the title “ the Son of the Sun” for himself and by incorporating the name of the god in his own.
