Yes, Khufu, also known as Cheops, was alive during the construction of The Great Pyramid of Giza. He reigned as the Pharaoh of Egypt during the Fourth Dynasty, and the pyramid was built around 2580–2560 BCE, which aligns with his reign. The Great Pyramid is considered his tomb, reflecting his power and the resources of ancient Egypt at that time.

What was a major purpose for making pyramids?

There are many different theories about the purpose of the Great Pyramid. Along with not being able to conclude absolutely who built the Great Pyramid, mankind also does not understand why it was built. Many believe that Pharaoh Cheops (or Khufu) built the Great Pyramid for his tomb around 3350 BC, because many of the other pyramids in the area have been found to be burial chambers for the various kings of Egypt. Now, there are some that believe the Great Pyramid monument was a time capsule left by an advanced civilization. There may have been some leaders of this civilization wanted to leave a message to future civilizations. Others think it was some civil service project.
