Pyramid of Menkaure
The Pyramid of Menkaure, located on the Giza Plateau in the southwestern outskirts of Cairo, Egypt, is the smallest of the three main Pyramids of Giza. It is thought to have been built to serve as the tomb of the fourth dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh Menkaure.
== Size and construction ==
Menkaure's pyramid had an original height of 65.5 metres (215 feet) and was the smallest of the three major pyramids at the Giza Necropolis. It now stands at 61 m (204 ft) tall with a base of 108.5 m. Its angle of incline is approximately 51°20′25″. It was constructed of limestone and granite. The first sixteen courses of the exterior were made of red granite. The upper portion was cased in the normal manner with Tura limestone. Part of the granite was left in the rough. Incomplete projects such as this pyramid help archaeologists understand the methods used to build pyramids and temples. South of the pyramid of Menkaure are 3 satellite pyramids. The largest is made partly of granite, like the main pyramid, and is believed to have been completed due to the limestone pyramidion that was found close by.〔(【引用サイトリンク】first1=Peter )〕 Neither of the other 2 progressed beyond the construction of the inner core.〔Edwards, Dr. I.E.S.: The Pyramids of Egypt 1986/1947 p. 147-163〕
