and it was designed by his architect .

Before pyramids were constructed,

pharaohs were buried in mastabas,
which were flat-roofed rectangular
structures made of mud bricks.

powerful, they wanted grander tombs
that would reflect their status and
ensure their place in the after life.

remains of the period, suggesting there may have been others.[6] The otherwise earliest among these

Giza pyramids are counted among the largest structures ever built.[9] The Pyramid of Khufu is the
largest Egyptian pyramid. It is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still in
