Khufu the Great Pyramid - E-book - ePub

The era of the 4th Dynasty began with its founder, King Sneferu, immediately after the end of the Third Dynasty... and with the death of King Sneferu, Khufu became the second king of the Fourth Dynasty, which ruled Egypt for a century and a half (2900 - 2750 BC) approximately, and it is likely that the capital of its kingdom was Memphis. During the reign of this famous dynasty, which many consider the strongest and greatest of the Egyptian dynasties, Egypt reached the peak of glory and civilization during its reign, and we deduce the amount of strength from the monuments it left behind, and the pyramids are the best witness to the greatness of its kings, so that the Great Pyramid of Khufu in Giza is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World, if not the most amazing and famous, and some hypotheses see that the purpose of building the pyramids was to find a fortified place for the mummy of the king so that tampering hands would not reach it.
