  Khafre's Pyramid

  the most striking feature of Khafre's pyramid is the preserved layer of casing stones at the very top. While all the pyramids were originally covered in polished white Tura limestone, most of this outer layer was stripped away over millennia. The remnant on Khafre's pyramid gives you a glimpse of what the Giza pyramids once looked like when they gleamed in the sun. The pyramid also appears taller than the Great Pyramid of Giza because it was built on higher ground, a clever optical illusion.

You can also see a large, vertical gash on its northern face, a scar left by a 12th-century attempt to demolish the pyramid.
