The Pyramid of Khufu [Cheops; c.2585-2560 B.C.E.], is the largest of the three principal pyramids on the Giza Plateau. It is 450 feet in height. The white oblong building on the south side of Khufu’s pyramid houses one of the boats buried with the king which has been reconstructed. The Pyramid of Khafra [Chephren; c.2555-2532 B.C.E.], is 448 feet in height. It still retains near the summit some of its original smooth limestone veneer. The Pyramid of Men-kau-re [Mycerinus; c.2532-2510 B.C.E.] is the smallest of the three pyramids.
