    The document summarizes information about three pyramids located near Giza, Egypt - the Pyramid of Cheops, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. It notes that Cheops's pyramid was built between 2589-2566 BC using over 2.3 million stone blocks weighing over 2.5 tons each. It describes Khafre's pyramid as being placed next to his father Cheops's pyramid, appearing taller by being built on a higher foundation. The last pyramid discussed is Menkaure's, which is the smallest of the three and shows scarring on its north face from a 12th century attempt to dismantle it.

    This pyramid was robbed long before archeologists knew about it.

    Anything about King Cheops was taken when the tomb was robbed. King Cheops (also known as Kufu) was believed to have been the ruler of a very advanced group. He was probably very rich and well respected.

    King Cheopss Pyramid was probably built between 2589-2566 BC. It supposedly took over 2,300,000 giant stone blocks to make the Cheops Pyramid. Each stone block weighed over 2.5 tons.

    The Pyramid of Khafre


    The Pyramid of Khafre, called Great is Khafre, was designed by a rather ambitious young pharoh. He can be called ambitious because of the fact that he decided he was going to place his py ramid next to that of his father, Khufu.

    While not as tall as his father's pyramid, he made it appear taller by placing it on a foundation of bedrock that was about 33 feet higher than that of his father.

    Mikerinos Pyramid
    The Pyramid of Menkaure (Mycerinus in Greek) is the last great pyramid to built on the Giza Plateau. Smaller than the other two, a 12th century Cairo Sultan tried to dismantle this pyramid, abandoning the task after eight months. The scar on the north face remains from this effort.
