 Egypt: Snefru (Snofru, Snefrue), 1st King of Egypt's 4th Dynasty
Snefru was most likely the son of Huni, his predecessor, though there seems some controversy to this, considering the break in Dynasties.
Snefru was almost certainly married to Hetepheres I, who would have been at least his half sister, probably by a more senior queen, in order to legitimize his rule.
It is interesting to note that Snefru's later deification was perhaps partially due to his status as an "ideal" king, who's deeds were emulated by later kings to justify their legitimacy to the throne.

 Egypt: The Bent Pyramid of Snefru at Dahshur
During the Middle Kingdom, a limestone stele from the tomb of Snefru's son, Netjeraperef was used to frame the entrance doorway.

Within the chamber, crudely written in red pigments is an inscription that bears the courtouche of Snefru, but most Egyptologists believe the pyramid was never used for its intended purpose, and some also believe that it was the upper north chamber that was originally intended to be the burial chamber of Snefru.

 Rediscover Ancient Egypt - The Egyptian Pyramids at Giza, Sakkara, Dahshur, and Meidum
Yet the three mighty pyramids at Dahshur and Meidum, attributed to Snefru, required much more stones and labor than that required for the Great Pyramid itself.
This is another reason to disregard the validity of the quarrying and ramp theories.
If the two main pyramids at Dahshur are to be attributed to Snefru, and possibly a third pyramid at Meidum, it means that Snefru, in the course of his reign of 24 years, was responsible for the quarrying, transport, and dressing of several times the quantity of the Great Pyramid.
