Giza
The smallest of the three great pyramids of Giza, this pyramid was built by the IV Dynasty pharaoh Menkaure (Mycerinus) around 2525 BC. It is slightly offset from the plane of its two neighbors, which has led some to notice a similar layout to the stars in the belt of the constellation Orion. Most of its casing stones were removed in the 12th century when a sultan spent eight months trying in vain to demolish it.
