3. The Pyramid of Menkaure is the southernmost and smallest of the three main pyramids in the Giza Pyramid Complex. Built around 2530–2500 BCE for Pharaoh Menkaure of Egypt’s Fourth Dynasty, it completes the royal necropolis established by his grandfather Great Pyramid of Khufu and father Pyramid of Khafre. Despite its size, its artistry and material choices mark a pinnacle of Old Kingdom craftsmanship and spiritual symbolism.

About Caïro

Caïro is de uitgestrekte hoofdstad van Egypte aan de Nijl, waar de piramiden van Gizeh samenkomen met moskeeën, bazaars en farao-schatten.

Aan de westrand van de stad rijzen de piramiden van Gizeh en de Grote Sfinx op uit het woestijnplateau, met de trappiramide van Saqqara en de ruïnes van Memphis verder naar het zuiden. De grote musea van Caïro, het Egyptisch Museum aan het Tahrirplein en het enorme Grand Egyptian Museum naast het plateau, bewaren voorwerpen uit duizenden jaren.
