Pharaohs : were the kings of ancient Egypt. The Egyptians believed their pharaoh to be the mediator between the gods and the world of men.
⦁ Khufu’s sarcophages is in another chamber known as the King’s Chamber, up the other passage and through the long, tall slanting Grand Gallery.

⦁ The King’s Chamber is lined with huge blocks of granite. All that’s there now is a huge granite sarcophagus, which once housed the pharaoh’s mummy.
⦁ Above the King’s chamber are five compartments separated by huge slabs of granite.
⦁ below the King’s Chamber and the Grand Gallery is aroom known as the Queen’s Chamber. Though this room probably didn’t hold any queens.
⦁ A pyramid was usually a tomb for a single person, Khufu’s whose wives may have been entombed in small pyramids nearby.
⦁ There are tunnels leading from the north and south ends of the queens chamber.
⦁ As for treasures, whatever was inside the Great Pyramid was stolen long ago.
