It was built as a tomb for Pharaoh Khafre during the Old Kingdom period, around 2570 BC. It's notable for retaining some of its original casing stones at its apex.

The Pyramid of Khafre, commonly referred to as the Chephren Pyramid, stands as one of the iconic structures of ancient Egypt's Giza plateau. Constructed during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom, around 2570 BC, it served as the tomb for Pharaoh Khafre, the successor to Khufu, builder of the Great Pyramid. Despite appearing slightly smaller than its renowned neighbor, the Khafre Pyramid is remarkable for its enduring grandeur and precision. Originally encased in smooth limestone, remnants of this casing still cling to its upper reaches. The structure is flanked by the Great Sphinx, further enhancing its mystique and historical significance. As a testament to ancient Egyptian engineering and craftsmanship, the Khafre Pyramid continues to captivate and intrigue visitors from around the world, standing as a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the ancient civilization.
