In the last episode, we focused on Khufu and the Great Pyramid. We left off at the brief reign of his son, Djedefre. He was succeeded by his half-brother Khafre, who would build the Second Pyramid of Giza. We also follow Pharaoh Menkaure, the Third Pyramid of Giza, and focus on the end of the 4th Dynasty.
