The pyramid is located on the west bank of the River Nile, and if you see photos or videos of it, you’ll see that it isn’t the only pyramid. You’d see two other pyramids built on the same site. Of the three, the tallest is the Pyramid of Giza, also known as the Pyramid of Khufu.
Smaller than it, is the Pyramid of Khafre, the second largest pyramid in Egypt. It is said to have been built by Khufu’s son Khafre. The third and the smallest is the Pyramid of Menkaure. Said to have been built by Khafre’s son. These are the only monuments from the era.
In addition to these, are The Great Sphinx, several burial tombs, and smaller pyramids. There are said to be a total of 118 pyramids of varying shapes and sizes. Many of them have been eroded by the weathering, very few are in good condition. Perhaps the most well-preserved are these three pyramids. Especially the Great Pyramid of Giza.
