Pyramid of Khafre, Giza, c. 2530 BC
Pyramid of Khafre, Giza — slightly smaller than Khufu's but built on higher ground, so it appears taller from a distance. It's the only pyramid at Giza to retain a significant section of its original smooth white Tura limestone casing near the top, a reminder of how all three once gleamed across the desert. © MusikAnimal, CC BY-SA 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons
