	Khufu, also known as Cheops, was the second pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of Egypt, ruling approximately from 2589 BCE to 2566 BCE. He is most famous for commissioning the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and the only one still largely intact today. Khufu's reign, though shrouded in mystery due to the lack of extensive records from his time, is primarily defined by this monumental building project. The Great Pyramid was originally built as his tomb and stands as a testament to ancient Egyptian engineering and organizational prowess. It is believed that over 2 million limestone blocks, each weighing several tons, were used to construct the pyramid, and it originally stood at 146.6 meters (481 feet) tall, making it the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years.

Beyond his monumental construction projects, Khufu’s reign is thought to have solidified Egypt’s role as a powerful and centralized state. While there are limited direct records of Khufu’s governance, archaeological evidence suggests that he exerted strong control over the labor force and resources required to build the pyramid. The project likely involved thousands of workers, including skilled laborers, architects, and laborers who were organized into teams to transport the massive stone blocks. Khufu’s rule is also noted for its efforts to secure Egypt’s borders and strengthen the state’s control over its resources, although most of this is inferred from the continued prosperity of the Old Kingdom during and after his reign. Despite the monumental success of the pyramid, Khufu's legacy is somewhat overshadowed by later rulers who left more extensive records of their reigns, such as those of his son, Khafre, and his grandson, Menkaure. Nonetheless, Khufu’s pyramid remains one of the most enduring symbols of ancient Egypt’s grandeur and engineering excellence.
