Sneferu |
Built the Bent Pyramid, which is a pyramid built at a normal angle at
the bottom but drastically changes at the top. He also built the first
"true" pyramid, known as the Red Pyramid. Some say that he was buried at
the Red Pyramid, while others say that he was buried at the Bent
Pyramid. Bones have been found at the Red Pyramid, but there is no
evidence that this is Sneferu's body. |

Khufu |
Greek form: Cheops. Built the great pyramid of Giza. Note that Khufu is
spoken of in early sources as being "third" of his family to rule,
although there is no known record of a Pharaoh between Sneferu and
Khufu. One supposition is that there might have been a very short reign
of some elder brother of Khufu, whose inscriptions, name, and monuments
have perished for one reason or another. |
