Pharaoh Sneferu

Pharaoh Sneferu was an ancient Egyptian king, ruling around 2600 BCE, known for shaping Egypt’s architectural achievements. He was the father of Khufu, builder of the Great Pyramid. Sneferu is credited with developing the true pyramid form by experimenting with different designs, moving from step pyramids to the smooth-sided structures that became iconic. His innovative approaches helped establish Egypt’s reputation for monumental architecture and demonstrated his leadership in engineering and religion. Sneferu's reign set the foundation for later pharaohs to build the famous pyramids that continue to awe people today.
