Description
Chephren, son of Cheops, decided to place his tomb to the south of his father's, thus taking his place in the family line. Construction techniques had been perfected, and Chephren's pyramid was erected more quickly. Although not as tall, it looks slimmer than its neighbour as its incline is two degrees greater. The pyramids of Chephren and Cheops represent the pinnacle of the monumental aspect of Egyptian pyramids. It is also worth visiting the ancient remains around them (in particular, its partly preserved causeway) as, like every pyramid, Chephren was part of a vast funerary complex.
