The Pyramid of Khafre was built to house the king Khafre, who was the son of Khufu, who built the Great Pyramid.
It's actually smaller than the Great Pyramid, but sits on higher bedrock, which makes it look taller.
It still retains part of its original casing of white limestone near the top.
It's attached to the Valley Temple and the Sphinx.
Duncan Murray discovers how the Pyramids were built! LOL I thought this was cool when I saw all the equipment with the pyramid behind it. Just think what they would have accomplished with this equipment.

Foreground are two Egyptian policemen resting at the base of the Pyramid of Cheops. In the background is the lower part of the Pyramid of Chephren. This one is not as large but still retains some of its original limestone cover at the top. In a few years this will all have eroded and out guide could not tell us why work was not being done to preserve it.

We had a twelve-hour layover in Cairo, so it just made sense to see the pyramids and hit up the market.
