Khufu, the second king of the 4th
Dynasty, was possibly the builder of the Great Pyramid at Giza. He was
initially succeeded by Djedefre, his son by a minor wife. He was
succeeded by Khephren, his son by Queen Henutsen. A miniature statue of
Khufu is on display at the Cairo Museum. This is the only likeness of him
known to be in existence.

Suphis
[1], for 63 years. He reared the Great Pyramid, which Herodotus says
was built by Cheops. Suphis conceived a contempt for the gods; he also
composed the Sacred Book, which I acquired in my visit to Egypt
because of its high renown. |
