Khafre

(Greek, Chephren), Egyptian pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty, who ruled in the late 27th or early 26th century B.C. Son or brother of Khufu (Cheops).

Herodotus describes Khafre as the continuator of the despotic policies of Khufu. Khafre’s pyramid in Giza (Gizeh), which at a height of 143.5 m is the second largest pyramid, was connected in antiquity by a covered passageway to a granite temple in the valley, where two diorite statues of Khafre have been found (now housed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo). The colossal Great Sphinx was carved out of a knoll of rock near Khafre’s pyramid during Khafre’s reign.
