Second Largest Pyramid Complex Giza

 
The Great Pyramid is the biggest pyramid of all in the necropolis, but Khafre's Pyramid which is second to  his father Khufu's Pyramid or The Great Pyramid, appears to be taller for it has been built on higher ground and at steeper angle.

The pinnacle of the pyramid is in absolute good condition which also contributes in making its appearance as the tallest one. The Great Pyramid is known for its perfection in construction whereas the Khafre's pyramid has been the standing example for all the other pyramids which were built later.

The pyramid was far better in architecture than the earlier ones, apart from being larger, it had all the five elements which were followed by and seen in all the later Old Kingdom mortuary temples. The five elements were:

An Entrance Hall
A broad columned court
Five niches for the statues of the king
Five storage chambers
An inner sanctuary

Inside the pyramid the explorers found a small pit cut in the floor is believed to be made to hold first canopic chest in a pyramid. These canopic chests are in the burial chamber and hold jars of the shape of protective spirits and were used to hold the preserved organs of the dead, like lungs, stomach, liver and intestine.

No doubt all this seems so interesting and mysterious too. But seeing all this in reality will definitely make a difference. If you are planning to visit Khafre's Pyramid we might prove to be the best resource in making your stay the most comfortable one, irrespective of your budget. If you are searching for hotels less than $ 100 Le Meredien Pyramids would be the best for you & if you can go for higher than this, more than $ 120 then  Zoser Hotel CairoMoevenpick Rst Cairo will be the right choice.
