The great pyramids of the 4th dynasty pharaohs, who constructed the great pyramid of King Cheops, the second pyramid of Chephren, and the pyramid of Mekarenous, the well-known statue of the Sphinx, and the valley temple, which was used for embalming, are to be seen at Memphis Sakkara and Felucca on the Nile.
