Khafre (Pharaoh)

Khafre was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty, ruling around 2550 BC. He is best known for building the second of the three great pyramids at Giza and the Sphinx, a massive limestone statue with a lion’s body and a human head, symbolizing strength and wisdom. Khafre’s rule strengthened Egypt’s power and wealth, and his pyramid complex was designed to ensure his journey to the afterlife. His possessions, including a famous statue, reflect divine status and craftsmanship of the time. Khafre remains a key figure in Egypt’s history as a ruler who left a lasting mark through monumental architecture.
