	The Great Pyramid of Khafre at Giza in Egypt
		A year later, he was responsible for unearthing one of ancient Egypt's most famous and beautiful statues, that of Khafre on his throne with the protective outstretched winds of the falcon god, Horus, sheltering his head from behind.
		Cult, or Satellite pyramids as they are sometimes called, are thought to have derived from the south tomb of Djoser's complex at Saqqara, and may have been for the burial of statues dedicated to the ka, or spiritual double, of the king.
		In fact, written sources indicate that, on the orders of Ramesses II, casing from Khafre's pyramid was used for the construction of a temple in Heliopolis.

	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.

	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).

	Atlantis Rising - HOW OLD ARE THE PYRAMIDS? by JOSEPH JOCHMANS
		Khafre followed Khufu, and in order to be politically and religiously "correct," we would have expected him to have erected a pyramid larger than Khufu’s.
		After Khafre, Menkhare next took the throne of Egypt, and in order to be in continued good political and religious form, we would have expected him to build the largest pyramid of all, dwarfing those of Khufu and Khafre in order to make sure he was not to be outshone by either of his predecessors.
		It is becoming increasingly apparent that the three Pharaohs who are thought to have built the Giza Pyramids instead simply claimed the monuments as their own, having given up on the idea of attempting to duplicate the structures, as Senefru had tried but failed to do before them.

	Women in Egypt: Menkaure and His Queen: 4. Matriliny in Dynasty IV
