[b][size=4]Khafre's Pyramid[/size][/b]
Khafre, who was the son of Khufu, was also known as Rakhaef or Chephren. He ruled from 2520 - 2494 B.C. and is responsible for the second largest pyramid complex at Giza, which includes the Sphinx, a Mortuary Temple, and a Valley Temple. The most distinctive feature of Khafre's Pyramid is the topmost layer of smooth stones that are the only remaining casing stones on a Giza Pyramid.

[b]Base:[/b] 704 feet (214.5 m) on each side covering a total area of 11 acres
[b]Total Weight:[/b] undetermined
[b]Average Weight of Individual Blocks of Stone:[/b] 2.5 tons, some of the outer casing blocks of stone weigh in at 7 tons
[b]Height: [/b]Originally 471 feet (143.5 m) tall, now 446 feet (136 m) tall
[b]Angle of Incline:[/b] 53 degrees 7' 48"

Khafre may be best known for his statues, and most famous among them is, of course, the Sphinx. Mark Lehner and Zahi Hawass write of Khafre: "He was, after all, perhaps the greatest maker of statues of the Pyramid Age. There are emplacements in his pyramid temples for 58 statues, including four colossal sphinxes, each more than 26 feet long, two flanking each door of his Valley Temple; two colossal statues, possibly of baboons, in tall niches inside the entrances of the Valley Temple; 23 life-size statues of the pharaoh in the Valley Temple (fragments of several have been found with his name inscribed on them); at least seven large statues of him in the inner chambers of his Mortuary Temple; 12 colossal Khafre statues around the courtyard of his Mortuary Temple; and ten more huge statues in the Sphinx Temple."

[size=4][b]The Pyramid of Khafre[/b][/size]
Pharaoh Khafre, son of Khufu ruled Egypt for 26 years. He built his pyramid 10m higher on the plateau and is only 3m shorter than his father's. It is the only pyramid at Giza that has some casing stone remaining. You can see it at the top. Both the Pyramid temple and Valley Temple are in a good state of preservation. The area northwest of the pyramid has been leveled to 10m below the bedrock. Quarry marks can still be seen here.

[b][size=4]The Great Pyramid of Khufu[/size][/b]
Khufu, the son of Sneferu built the greatest architectural achievement in the World. Here on the Giza Plateau after of some 4500 years The Great Pyramid of Khufu stands at the dawn of civilization and beholds our modern world. It is built with incredible accuracy in terms of cardinal alignment, geometrical shape and proportions and level to within a few mm. It is the largest pyramid in Egypt and was the tallest man-made structure in the World until 1888. Inside the Great Pyramid the Grand Gallery is surely the work of genius. The pyramid is so large that it is almost impossible to fully grasp it in one view.

[b][size=4]Pyramid of Djoser[/size][/b]
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The Pyramid of Djoser was built for the burial of Pharaoh Djoser by his Vizier Imhotep. It was constructed during the [color=red][b]27th century BC[/b][/color] at the Saqqara necropolis to the northwest of the city of Memphis.
http://en.wikipedia.org/upload/c/c1/DjosersPyramid_Saqqara01.JPG
Djoser's pyramid, Saqqara.
This first Egyptian pyramid consisted of 6 mastabas (of decreasing size) built atop one another in what were clearly revisions and developments of the original plan. The pyramid originally stood 62 m tall and was clad in polished white limestone. The step pyramid (or proto-pyramid) is considered to be the earliest large-scale stone construction.

The Sphinx is 73 m long and 20 m high. Carved out of the rock, different layers have eroded at different rates. The head is cut from much harder strata than much of the lower body.

The area at the back of the Sphinx showing the rear wall of the Sphinx enclosure.

The Sphinx, which embodies the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, is believed to be the head of Khafre and his guardian spirit for his entire burial complex. Carved from the natural limestone of Giza, the sphinx has disintegrated over the years, entire pieces dropping off to the desert floor below. It is not known to have chambers inside, like those found in the pyramids at Giza.
