[edit] Chephren's seated diorite statue - cartouche

This is the amazing statue with the Horus (hawk) behind his Head.

At Khafre's right foot, to the right side, can be found his vertical cartouche. It reads as follows:

Seated Khafre– Chepren's vertical Cartouche the Diorite statue in hieroglyphs

Sun, Sunrise, Horizontal snake. The cartouche:

(Budge's 2-vol dictionary has the same sequence. At Uraeus is the dict. Ref.)

[edit] Rename

→ Khafre like Encarta and EB

[edit] Moved from the article

Khafre built the Great Sphinx to guard his tomb, his father's tomb, and his step-brother's tomb. It has the head of Khafre and the body of a lion. -Written by:Karlie Davidson

[edit] 170 year reign?

Hi, the table to the right of the page states that Khafra reigned from 2650 BCE to 2480 BCE! I don't know how to edit this and am finding conflicting data on when he did actually reign. It looks like 2558 - 2532 BCE as this fits him nicely between Djedefre and Menkaura. Any ideas? --Kylemew 15:36, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
