The Pyramid of Khafrae is the second largest of the Ancient Egyptian Pyramids of Giza and the tomb of the fourth-dynasty pharaoh Khafre (Chephren in Greek), The pyramid has a base length of 215.25 m (706 ft) and originally rises to a height of 143.5 m (471 ft). The Pyramid is made of Limestone blocks (weighing more than 2 tons each). The slope of the pyramid rises at an 53� 10' angle, steeper than its neighbor Khufu�s pyramid which has an angle of 51�50'40". The pyramid sits on bedrock 10 m (33 ft) higher than Khufu�s pyramid, which makes it appear to be taller. The Great Sphinx of Giza is a statue of a reclining lion with a human head that stands on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile, near modern-day Cairo, in Egypt. It is the largest monolith statue in the world, standing 73.5 m (241 ft) long, 6 m (20 ft) wide, and 20 m (65 ft) high. It is the oldest known monumental sculpture, built on the third millennium BC. The Great Sphinx was thus believed according to Mythology to stand as guardian of the tombs on the Giza Plateau, facing out from the world of the dead towards the rising sun.
