Khufu
Khufu, also known as Cheops, was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty who reigned around 2589 to 2566 BC. He is best known for commissioning the Great Pyramid of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, which served as his tomb. Khufu's reign marked the pinnacle of pyramid construction and the centralization of power in ancient Egypt. His legacy continues to fascinate historians and archaeologists, as the Great Pyramid remains a testament to the engineering prowess and architectural sophistication of ancient Egyptian civilization.
