The pyramid of Khufu is the largest and oldest of the all Giza pyramids.
King Khufu was the father of pyramid building at Giza. He ruled from about 4,500 years ago and was the son of King Sneferu and Queen Hetpeheres. The pyramid was confirmed that it was made by Khufu in 1839.
It took twenty years to build it. It was made of limestone and used about two hundred and thirty million building stones. Total weight is 6.5 million tons. His pyramid is named "Aketo Khufu", it means "The horizon of Khufu".
There is a sarcophagus in "room of ruler" and it is said that it is the room for a embalmer of Khufu buried in the ground. There is "Khufu ship" in the southern part of Khufu pyramid. As for this, there are some theories, but it's still shrouded in mystery.
