What Khufu was known for doing and makeing in his reign.

Khufu and his siblings were highly known for their amazing pyramids that they built.Khufus son Khafre joined their pyramids in Giza that he made between(2520-2494) B.C. Then Khufus grandson made a smaller but imposing pyramid between(2490-2472)B.C..Wwwowww!!,im definately seeing that this family had a serious absession with pyramids LOL!!!!The even crazier thing is that betwween the three of them they used a average of 41% of the total mass of stone,and a estimated 20 to 30,000 people helped build these pyramids and it took about 20 years to build them.
