		Khufu was known as the "Father of Pyramid Building at Giza" (Khufu 1).
		Vizier Hermon, the pharaoh’s cousin, was the architect responsible for the construction of the pyramid.
		King Khufu’s time in the afterlife was to be as nice as that, which he had in his previous life, especially since he had all the things he held dear to him.

		In this close-up of the entrance to Khufu's pyramid, it is possible to judge the scale of the limestone blocks used in its construction with the people sitting in the foreground.
		Although Khafre's pyramid is shorter than that of his father, it appears taller due to the simple fact that it was constructed on higher ground.
		Adjacent to Khafre's Valley Temple sits the mysterious Sphinx, a lion-bodied statue with the head of a man. It is believed to have been built by Khafre himself.

		In cryptography, Khufu and Khafre are two block ciphers designed by Ralph Merkle in 1989 while working at Xerox's Pan Alto Research Center.
		Along with Snefru, a cryptographic hash function, the ciphers were named after the Egyptian pharoahs Khufu, Khafre and Sneferu.
		An advantage is that Khafre can encrypt a small amount of data very rapidly — it has good key agility.

	Egyptian History - Dr. Zahi Hawass
		The son of Khufu, Khafre (or Khephren to the ancient Greeks) is best known as the owner of the second pyramid at Giza.
		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.

		Khufu’s pyramid, now known as the Great Pyramid, was built with a ground plan of 230 square meters and a height of 146.5 meters when it was completed around 2600 BC.
		Khufu’s son Khafre also built his pyramid complex at Giza, next to Khufu’s pyramid, on an area where the ground is higher.
		One obvious difference between Khafre’s pyramid complex and the others is the presence of a large guardian statue to the north of the valley temple.

	EgyptSites - Khafre
		Khafre's brother Djedefre had succeeded their father on the throne but only reigned for around eight years and had chosen to site his own pyramid at Abu Roash to the north.
		Appearing to be bigger than Khufu's pyramid because of the rising ground on which it was built and it's steeper angle of slope, Khafre's pyramid actually had a base measurement of 215m and a height of 143.5m, making it slightly smaller than his father's.
		Khafre's burial chamber lies on the vertical axis of the pyramid and is simply constructed in a pit in the bedrock.

		The pyramid of Khufu was cased wholly in limestone but the lower parts of Khafre and Menkaure were sheathed in granite and, Butler argues, the true bases of these two are represented by the granite/limestone junctions.
		Not shown is the portcullis chamber of Khufu (often called the 'ante-chamber' although it appears to have its analogue in the portcullis chamber of Menkaure), or the Grand Gallery of Khufu which, although it has precursors in the chamber designs of the Dashur group, is usually considered part of the passage system.
		This is twice the distance from the centre of Khufu to the northeast corner of Khafre, which in turn is equal to the eastwest distance between the centres of the two large pyramids.

	The Giza Plateau and the Great Pyramids
		Three small pyramids to the east of Khufu's pyramid are tentatively thought to belong to two of his wives, and the third has been ascribed to Khufu's mother Hetepheres I, whose funerary equipment was found relatively intact in a shaft tomb nearby.
		Khufu's pyramid is unusual because the burial chambers are built within the structure, as opposed to the more usually underground chambers found in most pyramids.
		The Sphinx is carved from an outcrop of rock in a quarry beside the causeway to Khafre's pyramid, and this famous sculpture is usually assigned to Khafre's reign.

	Khafre, Pyramid of
		In Ancient Egypt, a pyramid at Giza, Egypt, built by the command of King Khafre as his tomb, in the 26th century BCE.
		The Pyramid of Khafre is the second largest pyramid in the world, but placed on a ground 10 metres higher than the Pyramid of Khufu, it appears larger.
		Khafre's pyramid has a twist to the top, as the four corner angles would not have met at the apex according to the original layout.

		Khufu's mortuary temple was demolished down to bedrock over the centuries.
		These are thought to be the boats which transported Khufu's body to his pyramid, since it was common practice to bury all the items connected with the royal funeral close to the final resting place of the King.
		Also built around the pyramid were the "Mastabas" (tombs) of the minor sons of the pharoah and the "Mastabas" of officials and workers related to the funerary complex.

		On average, the over two million blocks of stone used to build Khufu's pyramid weigh 2.5 tons, and the heaviest blocks, used as the ceiling of Khufu's burial chamber, weigh in at an estimated 40 to 60 tons.
		Khufu's son, Khafre, who was next in the royal line, commissioned the building of his own pyramid complex which includes the Sphinx.
		Alongside Khufu and Khafre's pyramids were large boat-shaped pits and buried boats that were presumably meant to aid the pharaoh's journey to the afterlife.

	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.

		This gave Khafre's pyramid the illusion of being taller, when in fact the Great Pyramid is the actually the taller pyramid.
		A remaining son of Khufu - Khafre, was to join his father building his pyramid at the higher spot in on the Giza plateau.

	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.
		Khufu, first on the scene, would naturally have laid claim to the largest pyramid for himself, or the Great Pyramid.

		Though Khafre's pyramid is shorter than his father Khufu's nearby Great Pyramid, Khafre made up for it by building at a higher elevation and surrounding his pyramid with a more elaborate complex.
		Carved from bedrock in front of Khafre's pyramid, the Sphinx depicts the pharaoh as a human-headed lion, wearing the headdress of the pharaohs.
		The great statue is the embodiment of Khafre, the third ruler of the 4th dynasty (time line), as the god Horus.

	Egypt: Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops), A Feature Tour Egypt Story
		Khufu’s Horus name was Medjedu, and his full birth-name was Khnum-Khufu, meaning, "the god Khnum protects me." Khnum was considered the local god of Elephantine, near the first Nile cataract, who created mankind on his "potter’s wheel" and was also responsible for the proper flooding of the Nile.
		Khufu’s senior wife was named Merityotes, and she and his other two wives were each buried in one of the three smaller subsidiary pyramids that lie just south of the mortuary temple of the main pyramid.
		It should be noted that while Khufu has acquired this reputation, accurate or not, the years and labor that went into building his Pyramid tomb was surpassed by the three pyramids built by his father Sneferu, who was contrarily remembered as an amiable ruler.

		However, Khufu is better known as the owner of the Great Pyramid at Giza-- a structure so huge that it held the record for the world's tallest man-made building until the 1880's (that's four and a half thousand years!).
		However, his son Khafre did choose the highest spot to build a pyramid of his own, casting an optical illusion where Khafre's pyramid seemed taller than Khufu's (though it was actually 33 1/2 feet shorter!).
		It is believed that this was the barge that brought Khufu's body across the Nile to the pyramid during his funeral.

	The Great Sphinx
		On the north side of the Khafre causeway, there is a ditch (2 m wide and 1.5 m deep) that forms a demarcation line between the pyramid complexes of Khufu and Khafre.
		Khafre's pyramid was accompanied by one smaller pyramid to the south, but the slightly searlier pyramid of Khufu has three to the east, while the smaller Giza pyramid of their successor Menkaure has three to the south.
		To the south of Khafre's tomb field there is a priests' town, where the priests who maintained the religious duties of the necropolis were housed, and nearby there is another large tomb, of an Old Kingdom queen.

		It was even said that Khufu set one of his daughters into a brothel so that she could raise revenue to build the pyramid, also asking each client for a block of stone so she could build her own pyramid.
		Khafre's mummy has been lost, but his mortuary temple at Giza yielded one of the finest extant Old Kingdom statues ´ an almost undamaged life-size seated diorite figure of the king enjoying the protection of the god Horus.
		The fifth king of the 4th dynasty was the son of Khephren and Khameremebty I. Menkaure is the son of Khafre and the grandson of Khufu of Dynasty IV.
