The pyramid of Khufu is the first of the pyramids of Giza, which was built in 2560-2540 BC in the era of the Pharaonic Fourth Dynasty.

Two entrances to the pyramid of King Khafre were built in the middle of the northern direction, which leads to a long corridor and then ends to the burial stone of the king's mummy.
