	ThothWeb - The Mystery of the Sphinx
		Khafre was the successor of Khufu, the pharaoh credited with building the Great Pyramid, the largest stone structure ever known to be built and the only surviving monument stated to be one of the seven wonders of the world.
		Khufu was Khafre's predecessor, and Pharaohs reigned for life, meaning that it would make it impossible for Khafre to build it and Khufu to see it.
		In terms of direct and solid evidence, the association of Khufu with the Great Pyramid rests entirely on the apparently straightforward fact that there are cartouches reading "Khufu" painted on the walls of hidden chambers inside the building.

	Civil Engineering Magazine - February 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Great Pyramid of the Egyptian pharaoh Khufu, above left, is a masterpiece of architecture and engineering—especially when one considers that the ancient Egyptians constructed it without benefit of the compass, the pulley, or the wheel.
		While various theories have been advanced as to the significance of the angle of inclination of the corridors that the pharaoh's soul would use to communicate with the gods, it is more likely that the angle was dictated by construction and ease of access for workers.
		This is confirmed by the fact that the axes of the primary pyramids at Giza —those of Khufu, his son Khafre, and his grandson Menkaure—are closely aligned not only with one another but also with the points of the compass—that is, north-south and east-west.
