| Our NOVA team, which coalesced in Giza last night, was immersed in that story today as we examined and filmed the famous Solar Barque of Khufu. |
|
| Khufu built the Great Pyramid, which was not only the first pyramid in Egypt, but it was the height of perfection in design and construction. |
|
| Once I emerged from the chamber of King Khufu, I found the bodies of the dead townspeople. |
|
| They say the pharaoh Khufu who built the Great Pyramid was so obsessed by the construction of his own tomb, he had no money to build tombs for others in his family. |
|
| He was probably the guard of the site, or perhaps more precisely of the temple built beside the pyramid of Khufu. |
|
| Seth also whispered to Khufu tales of the ongoing war between light and darkness. |
|
| This is the spectacle awaiting visitors to the top level of the Great Boat of Khufu Museum in Gizeh. |
|
| Khufu as he died he swore to Hath-Seth would come back one day and kill him. |
|
| It is the tomb of the Pharaoh Khufu, started from a standard funerary complex of the Old Empire. |
|
| While Khufu was half resurrected and didn't know what to do, I took Isis' soul! |
|
| The three great pyramids of Giza belong to Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, later 4th-dynasty monarchs. |
|
| We'll start with the pyramid of King Khufu. |
|
| On the north is the entrance of the Great Pyramid, which leads to the tomb of the great pharaoh of Khufu, and the long small corridor with escape shafts leads to the King's burial chamber. |
|
| Despite their size, the pharaohs' tombs are positioned with extraordinary accuracy the east and west walls of the Khufu pyramid, for example, are aligned north-south to within one-twentieth of a degree. |
|
| In 1925 a pit tomb containing the transferred burial equipment of Khufu's mother, Queen Hetepheres, was discovered near the upper end of the causeway of Khufu. |
|
| Its top is still covered with limestone, although smaller than the pyramid of Khufu, it however appears higher because set up on a higher site and with more tilted slopes. |
|
| The majestic pyramids of the Giza Plateau have been attracting visitors since Hellenistic times, when the Pyramid of Khufu was listed as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. |
|
| The plate of Giza is an exceptional place of interest: the three great pyramids among its one of Khufu, ultimate survivor of the seven wonders of the ancient world, and the sphinx. |
|
| It may have been the same bark that had accompanied the body of Khufu to Giza before being placed in the great pyramid the pharaoh had built as his eternal dwelling place. |
|
| It appears larger than the Great Pyramid of Khufu as it is built on an elevation that was about 10 meters or 33 feet higher than that of King Khufu's pyramid. |
|
|
|
| After an analysis of elements constituting an aggregate from the pyramid of Khufu, he found was composed of natural limestone but also its coating sodium, silicium, aluminium, magnesium and fluorine deans. |
|
| On the Giza plateau at about twenty kilometers from Cairo, it will study the pyramids of Khufu and Khafre, built by the son and grand-son of Snefru. |
|
| Constructed between 2589 and 2504BC, the Egyptian pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure, built in that order, are a testament to ancient planning and engineering. |
