KHAFRE'S PYRAMID....PAGE 2






This is the main chamber where the pharoah Khafre was placed. The small doorway is the entrance into the room and it leads to the tunnel from where we just came through..


This is a very large room, and the biggest of any of the pyramids I've seen so far. I think that Khufu's pyramid, next to this one is the only one that has a larger burial chamber. It was closed at the time, so I never went inside of it. The sarcophagus is what the people are looking at. Most of the entire weight of the pyramid rests on this room, so I'm happy they built it very well.


A close up of his sarcophagus. He was buried here in 2494 bc.
