He was succeeded by two kings who also chose to be buried at the Giza Plateau in two enormous pyramids, creating a unique archaeological complex of elegant structures. This site is symbolically protected by the Great Sphinx, which represents King Khafre wearing his royal headdress but has the body of a lion, signifying power and authority.
