Pyramids of Giza, Egypt - the pyramid of Khafre or, the pyramid of Chephren in Giza, Egypt. Let's visit the Pyramid of Khafre or of Chephren which is the second-tallest and second-largest of the Ancient Egyptian Pyramids of Giza and the tomb of the Fourth-Dynasty pharaoh Khafre (Chefren or Chephren), who ruled from c. 2558 to 2532 BC. • The Pyramid of Khafre or The Pyramid of Chephren has a base length of 215.5 m (706 ft) and rises up to a height of 136.4 metres (448 ft). The Pyramid of Khafre or The Pyramid of Chephren is made of limestone blocks weighing more than 2 tons each. The slope of the the Pyramid of Khafre or of Chephren rises at a 53° 13' angle, steeper than its neighbor, the Pyramid of Khufu, which has an angle of 51°50'24 . The pyramid sits on bedrock 10 m (33 ft) higher than Khufu’s pyramid, which makes it appear to be taller. • The Pyramid of Khafre or of Chephren is built of horizontal courses. The stones used at the bottom are very large, but as the pyramid rises, the stones become smaller, becoming only 50 cm (20 in) thick at the apex. The courses are rough and irregular for the first half of its height but a narrow band of regular masonry is clear in the midsection of the pyramid. At the northwest corner of the pyramid, the bedrock was fashioned into steps. Casing stones cover the top third of the pyramid, but the pyramidion and part of the apex are missing. • • #travel #vacation #adventure #bucketlist #traveling #explore #nature #traveltips #beach #trending #destination #holiday #world #holidays #tour #Cruise #trip #weekend #expedition #hiking #journey #trip #flight #tourist #tourism #booking #tickets #airlines #cheap #best #wanderlust #sightseeing #culture #trending #travellife #travelmemories #summer #travelblogger #naturevibes #travelingtheworld #travelingfamily #travelingalone #London #market #museum #island #travelling #travelgram #travelfamily #traveldiaries #travelling • #Egypt #Pyramids #VicStefanu
