King Khufu died at the age of 44.
When did khufu die?
No where in the books of history say how did Khufu died so that is unknown.
It is next to Khafre's Pyrimad!
Khufu had 9 sons and 15 daughters. He was succeeded by Djedefre who died of natural causes.
He died
The Pharaoh Khufu, whose throne name was Cheops, was the son of Snefru, and he died in approximately 2566 BC. His claim to fame is that he built the Great Pyramid at Giza as his tomb.
khufu became a pharoah because he was the son of snerfu and he was the previos pharoahs so it is abvious that his son would be the next pharoahs
king Khufu wanted it built for when he died
No, the pyramid of Khufu was built while Khufu was still alive. In fact, he built it. As an example, egyptologists believe that the queen's chamber (which was not meant for any of his wives) was originally built for Khufu, but he changed his mind and built something bigger for himself.
His wife got very powerful when he died.
The great Pharaoh Khufu, or sometimes referred to as Cheops, is known for building the great pyramids. When he died, they buried his mummified body beneath the Pyramid of Giza.
