Khafre’s pyramid complex consists of a Valley temple (sometimes referred
to as the Sphinx temple), a causeway, a mortuary temple and the king’s
pyramid.
The Valley Temple yielded several statues of Khafre. Several
were found in a well in the floor of the temple by Mariette in 1860.
Others were found during successive excavations by Sieglin (1909–10),
Junker, Reisner, and Hassan.
Khafre's Pyramid appears larger than the adjacent Khufu Pyramid by
virtue of its more elevated location, and the steeper angle of
inclination of its construction – it is, in fact, smaller in both height
and volume.
Khafre's Pyramid retains a prominent display of casing
stones at its apex
