		Menkaure was the son of Khafre (Chephren, Khefren) and his queen Khamernebi I. LIke many pharaohs, he married his sister, Khamernebti II, to retain power.

		Menkaure was Khafre's son and his monument, by far the smallest of the three Giza pyramids, was called 'Menkaure is Divine'.
		The pyramid appears to have been unfinished at the death of the king and was completed in mudbrick by Menkaure's son Shepseskaf, and later additions were built to his temples during Dynasties V and VI, suggesting that his mortuary cult was still flourishing then.
		Menkaure built three queen's pyramids on the southern side of his monument, though the largest eastern one (G3-a), which has a T-shaped substructure, was perhaps first intended as a satellite cult pyramid, but later presumably used for the burial of a queen, as were all three satellite pyramids, which had mudbrick chapels attached.

	Menkaure, the Last Great Pyramid Builder On the Giza Plateau
		He had two sons that we know of, Khuenre, his eldest son who apparently died prior to Menkaure and was buried in a rock tomb (MQ 1) southeast of his father's pyramid, and Shepsekaft, who was his successor.
		These legends record that Menkaure reopened temples which had been closed to provide labor for his predecessor's pyramid construction, and repealed many of the more oppressive measures of his predecessors, which therefore was an affront to the gods.
		However, it would almost seem that Menkaure was blessed by the gods, because far more statues survive of Menkaure than of his 4th Dynasty predecessors.

		The standard explanation for the relatively small size of this "runt" is simply that Menkaure didn't have the resources to build a pyramid of comparable grandeur as his predecessors; however, there is no evidence that such might be the case.
		Finding no plausible physical factors for their orientation, Bauval began looking for symbolic reasons that eventually led to his insight that the pyramids are aligned perfectly with the stars of the constellation Orion.
		he point I'm going for is that to overlook Menkaure's pyramid simply because of its size is to greatly underestimate the ancient Egyptians and to miss out on a very powerful experience.
