Pyramid of Menkaure

  • The Pyramid of Menkaure (or Mycerinus) (c. 2,530 BCE) is the third largest Pyramid at Giza. Herodotus wrote that it was built by Mycerinus (c. 2,530 BCE).
  • The hole in one side is from the attempt by one of Saladin’s (1174-1193 CE) sons to dismantle the Pyramid, after which he gave up.
