The Great Sphinx of Giza – the colossal limestone statue guarding the plateau.

The Pyramid of Hetepheres, also known as the satellite or subsidiary pyramid of the Great Pyramid of Giza, is a small structure located near the Pyramid of Khufu. Queen Hetepheres I, the mother of Khufu, was an influential figure during Egypt’s 4th Dynasty. While the pyramid itself is modest in size, it holds great historical importance. The pyramid was likely a symbolic structure rather than an actual burial site. Hetepheres was buried elsewhere in a shaft tomb near the Great Pyramid, known as G 7000X. Connection to Khufu: The pyramid and tomb reflect her significant status as the mother of one of Egypt’s most powerful pharaohs, Khufu.
