The 138 pyramids in Egypt don't exactly have names. They were intended to be the tombs of the kings who build them. However in popular culture they are often named after the kings who built them. Some are also 'named' because of their unique characteristics. Examples are The Step Pyramid, The Bent Pyramid and The Red Pyramid. The pyramids at Giza are probably the best known in the world, and they are the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure. Khufu's, The Great Pyramid, is the largest Egyptian pyramid. In this famous grouping Khafre's is next in size followed by Menkaure's. Khafre was the son of Khufu, and Menkaure was the son of Menkaure. The Red Pyramid of Shofru is believed to be the first successful smooth sided pyramid, and it also has most of its original smooth finishing stonework. Saying that it was the first successful smooth sided pyramid reflects the fact that it was designed and built to be smooth sided right from the beginning; it was not build like The Step Pyramid, layered mastabas, where the resulting steps were filled in afterwards.
