Pyramid of Khafre
Pyramid of Khafre called the ancient Egyptian language ss "War - Kha - F - Ra" great Khafra
sense, the second pyramid at Giza Necropolis, and this
little pyramid is smaller than the pyramid "Cheops" although he might
think headmaster from afar to be the largest of the pyramid "Cheops "..But
the fact that this pyramid engineer chose a hill high praises by the
pyramid behind the Great Pyramid even seem like top of him. It seems that this site was not knoll high levels, which needed a big
effort to set up this site to build it, and that is sculpted rock knoll,
and re-formed in the northern and western point of view ..While
it took the Golan industrial building in the south and east, using the
rock masses which broke off from the north side, and still in the north a
large area flat maintains separate the remains of trenches between the
blocks that were used quarry.
# Original height of the pyramid of Khafra totaled about 143.5 meters,
but up to now only 136 meters, and the length of each side of the sides
of the square base of about 215.5.
The angle of inclination of the pyramid aspects of the base 53 ° 10 'features a pyramid of Khafra its retention beside a fair amount of stone blocks of the outer clothing of good limestone, while remaining on the indication that its base was covered with a layer of pink granite.
# This pyramid includes two entrances in the northern facade, rising one on the base level of 11 meters, while the second entrance cut into the rock at the base of the pyramid level.
On the reason for the existence of two entrances to the pyramid, see d / Ahmed Fakhry (world raised Egyptian) that the reason for the existence of two entrances to the pyramid that one of them was used to process the king was buried, so we find it based flawlessly immune to heavy barricades, while the second entrance used for entry and exit of workers during the construction of the pyramid and during the process burial. While some of the other archaeologists believe that the reason for the existence of two entrances of the pyramid is the result of changing the pyramid design during construction.
The first entrance, known as the entrance Belzoni, rises from the earth's surface by 23:00, and lead this entrance to the downside corridor completely padded pink granite and a length of about 32 m, and inclined at an angle of 25 ° 55 'and then the corridor downward turns into a horizontal passage level of the rock, and there are in end granite barricade to reach beyond the burial chamber.
The second entrance which is carved in the rock plateau, leads to the downside as well as the corridor carved in the rock, and this corridor descended a few along the angle of 21 ° 40 ', and ends this ramp Bmtras turned bearish after the aisle to a horizontal ..
This corridor extends horizontally until it reaches the low room through the corridor enters the slope of the eastern wall, and this low room called the burial chamber is usually the first name in design, this room carved into the rock.
# After passing this room corridor continues horizontally to end Bmtras heavy stone rises beyond this corridor to the top of the aisle corresponds to the first caller upper entrance, corridors and unite in one lane long horizontal level of the rock ends Bmtras find after the burial chamber.
Burial chamber: The chamber is almost completely in the middle of the pyramid, and the lower part is carved in rock plateau, while the upper part is constructed limestone and roofed with tiles of colored limestone in the form of truss triangle angle similar to the angle of inclination of the pyramid from the outside surfaces of a 53.
It was found on the ark of granite immersed in the floor room on the west side of them, and is characterized by this sarcophagus that polished carefully big, and measurements of the coffin 2.02 long and 1.05 wide and 13:00 rise, were found near the coffin inside the room on the coffin lid, but it was broken, This cover was set up by the coffin holes in the end.
In the south side of the pyramid, there was a small pyramid was left of it is the entrance carved in the rock, followed by passage bearish sculpted as well as in the rock but it is noticeable at this entrance corridor bearish that they too narrow to the point that it is difficult on any normal person to enter and be understood from this that the pyramid the side of the building was not meant to be a burial, but it was just a symbolic tomb or shrine
