Pyramid of Menkaure Photos

The Pyramid of Menkaure is one of the three major pyramids in Giza and the smaller one. This is the tomb of Pharaoh Menkaure of the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt. Inside, there is a mysterious tomb different from other tombs, and six obvious niches can be seen. It is said that when Pharaoh Mencala died, the pyramid containing his remains was not completed, and the successor Pharaoh rushed to build it. The outer layer was originally planned to be paved with red granite, but it was hastily changed to limestone only halfway through. Therefore, the original overlaid red granite remains on the outer layer of the bottom of the pyramid. Entering the Pyramid The Pyramid of Menkaure is located on the edge of the Pyramid of Khafre, and its entrance is much smaller than the Pyramid of Khufu and the Pyramid of Khafre. Enter the ladder-shaped passage through several steps of stone steps, and walk along the passage to the end to enter the tomb. This tomb is relatively small, and there is an entrance in the tomb, both of which are connected to the main hall. The vaulted ceiling leads to the next burial chamber, which is unique in that it has a vaulted ceiling. The full, finely crafted vaulted ceiling can be seen when entering the main screen room through the stepped passage. The niche in the floor of the main burial chamber was originally for the sarcophagus, which was wrecked on its way to England and has not been found until now. Visit the Mysterious Tomb Go to the end of the stepped passage and turn right before the main tomb to enter another passage, and then you can enter a mysterious tomb. There are six distinct niches in this burial chamber. This tomb is different from what I have seen before. It may be used to hide treasures, or it may be used to bury the king's family. The specifics are unknown.
