Khufu (also known as Cheops) was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh during the 4th Dynasty of the Old Kingdom who reigned from around 2589 BC to 2566 BC [1, 2]. He is best

known as the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex, and the only remaining wonder of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World [1, 2].

The Great Pyramid served as his tomb and was an extraordinary feat of engineering, built using an estimated 2.3 million large stone blocks [1]. Although little is definitively known about his reign beyond the construction project, his legacy as the commissioner of this monumental structure has endured for millennia [1, 2].
