Pyramid of Khafre
Description: While the Pyramid of Khafre is only a few meters lower than the Great Pyramid it is as good as the latter one. Despite the fact that the Pyramid of Khafre is located in the middle of the Giza Plateau it has not been well researched yet. We know that inside the Great Pyramid a few rooms and passages have been discovered, however, all rooms inside the Pyramid of Khafre are located below its base level. All the attempts to find any chambers in the pyramid’s masonry have ended in failure. But could it be possible, that this huge monument is just a "pile of stones"? The Pyramid of Khafre, together with the Great Sphinx of Giza, and the standing structures of the temples could give us the full understanding of the ancient pyramid complex.
