Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops Pyramid)

Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops Pyramid), the Great Pyramid of Egypt. His son Khafre and another pharaoh, Menkaure, are credited with building the other two pyramids at Giza, but neither was as large or impressive as the Great Pyramid of Khufu, which was completed around 2560 BC.

Cheops

Khufu is the Greek name known in the history of King Khufu. The second pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty of ancient Egypt during the Old Kingdom. The Fourth Dynasty is considered the "Golden Age" of the Old Kingdom, largely due to the sheer size and quality of the pyramids built during this time. Starting with the pyramids built by Khufu's father, Sneferu, at Dahshur.

Also Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops Pyramid) are good indicators of Egypt's economic and political stability throughout the Old and Middle Kingdoms. The size and quality of its construction at different times during the history of ancient Egypt indicates that the resources available were allocated to construction during the Fourth Dynasty.

There is no doubt that Khufu improved on the innovations that his father introduced in building the curved pyramid and the red pyramid located south of Giza in Dahshur. The sides of the Great Pyramid of Khufu rise at an angle of 51.8 degrees from the sides, reaching a height of 756 feet at the base.
