The Pyramid of Khafre, built for Pharaoh Khafre (Khufu’s son), is the second-largest pyramid at Giza and includes the Sphinx, a colossal limestone statue with a lion’s body and a human head believed to represent Khafre. This pyramid, constructed around 2570 BC, appears taller than the Great Pyramid because it stands on higher ground and retains some of its original casing stones at the apex. The structure is distinguished by its smooth and well-proportioned design.
