Pyramid complex
- Khafra built the second largest pyramid at Giza.The Egyptian name of the pyramid was Wer(en)-Khafre which means "Khafre is Great". The pyramid has a subsidiary pyramid , It is not clear who was buried there. Sealing have been found of a King's eldest son of his body etc and the Horus name of Khafre.
- Valley Temple: The valley temple of Khafre was located closer to the Nile and would have stood right next to the Sphinx temple.
- Mortuary Temple :The mortuary temple was located very close to the pyramid.
- Great Sphinx and Sphinx temple :The sphinx is said to date to the time of Khafre .The spinx is designed to show the head of a man [pharaoh ] on a body of lion . The designer wanted to say that, that man is strong and brave like the lion. It is believed that the head ,and the face of sphinx is for Khafre . you can notice that from the two pictures the one for Sphinx and that for Khafre.
