It was built by King Khufu, who started his ruling period from 2589 until 2566 B.C and he ruled through the fourth dynasty.

The Pyramid of Khafre is the second largest pyramid among the three pyramids that was built by the superb king Khafre of the fourth dynasty. It is 136.4 meters tall and its base length is 215.82 meters. It has a slope of 53°08′. Each of its limestone blocks weigh about 2 tons. It sits on bedrock that is 10 m higher than Khufu’s, which makes it looks taller.

The Pyramid of Menkaure is the smallest pyramid in comparing with the two other pyramids. It was built by king Menkaure, who was the son of king Khafe. Its height is 65.5 meters with a base of 108.5 m. The material that was used to build it was limestone and granite.

How Were the Pyramids Built?

There were no cameras to record such a historical construction event. Scientists tried to understand the way of construction and how such massive stones were being moved. Scientists and archeologists even built a town near the pyramid of Menkaure to study how water can make blocks easier to move and a papyrus found by the Red Sea.

The techniques in building the pyramids were developed over years of deep research as they started from the idea of being mastabas, which were used as burial tombs of the ancients. Khufu followed his father’s “Snefru” strategies in building his great pyramid, the largest one in the complex. It was revealed that the Egyptians had the ability to align structures to true north very precisely, something that may have helped in planning the pyramids. A circumpolar star and lines of rope were used to align the pyramids to true north.

A wall painting dates back to 1900 B.C depicts 172 men hauling an immense statue using ropes attached to a sledge.

The Pyramid Precision to the North

Two bright stars were being used by the ancient Egyptians to align their pyramids in a north-south direction in the Big Dipper and Little Dipper constellations to face the four cardinal directions. The pyramids were built during the third millennium B.C as tombs for kings. Those pyramids were aligned to the north south in a very accurate way with an accuracy of up to 0.05 degrees. This shows the greatness of the ancients and how they were people with great minds. The Ancients know how to calculate distances, measures and everything without the technology we have today.
