Giza
One of three of the satellite Queen's Pyramids. Pyramid of Heterpheres, a Queen of Egypt during the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt. She was Wife of King Snefru, founder of Egypt's Fourth Dynasty, and mother of King Khufu, builder of the Great Pyramid. Her burial was hidden in a secret chamber nearly 90 feet underground and contained beautiful pieces of gilded and inlaid furniture, silver jewelry, and a large alabaster sarcophagus that was empty. It originally stood 30.25 meters high, but lost its outer casing and about two-thirds of its height.
