The Khufu Pyramid was built by Khufu, the son of Sneferu and Hetepheres . Khufu lived during the 4th Dynasty . He had the Khufu Pyramid built from 2551 BC to 2528 BC. 
Khufu Pyramid is thought to be largest building built during ancient times. It was the largest building in the world for over 3,800 years! The Lincoln Cathedral in England, built around 1,300 was the first building ever built that was bigger than Khufu Pyramid! Over 2.3 million blocks of stone were used to build the pyramid, with each of them weighing 2.5 million tons! The pyramid is 481 feet tall and the length at the base is is 756 feet.
One of the most interesting things about the
pyramid that we found was that he had a Khufu ship made to carry him to heaven with the Sun God Ra. The ship is now in a special museum at the Khufu Pyramid. It is the first time that I have ever heard of a ship being made that was never going to go in the water!
