📍 Egypt
The Pyramid of Khafre, located in the Giza Pyramid Complex in Egypt, is the second-largest and second-tallest of the ancient pyramids. Built during the Fourth Dynasty by Pharaoh Khafre around 2570 BC, it stands as a testament to ancient Egyptian architectural prowess. Unlike the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Pyramid of Khafre retains a portion of its original smooth limestone casing at its apex, giving it a distinctive appearance. This pyramid is part of a larger funerary complex that includes the Great Sphinx, thought to have been carved to resemble Khafre himself. Visitors can explore the interior chambers and corridors, offering a glimpse into the burial practices of ancient Egypt. Its alignment with the surrounding pyramids and the Sphinx highlights the sophisticated understanding of astronomy and engineering possessed by its builders.
