Khufu
Shown dispatching an enemy on this ancient engraved tablet, Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu made an indelible mark on history when he completed construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Khufu, known to the Greeks as Cheops, built the pyramid as a funeral tomb. It has become one of the world’s best-known and longest-lasting man-made structures.
