1. Burial in the Great Pyramid

   2566-01-01 BC · King's Chamber, Great Pyramid of Giza, Giza, Egypt

   

   Khufu was laid to rest in the King’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid, the royal tomb at Giza built for him. This is the only defensibly documented physical-presence location identified in the surviving evidence reviewed; inscriptions and expeditions elsewhere name or depict him but do not directly establish that he personally travelled there. The precise year is conventional: the source dates Khufu c. 2589–2566 BC; the burial is placed at the end of that approximate reign. Coordinates identify the Great Pyramid, since a separately geocoded point for the interior chamber was not supplied.
