How many people were buried in the Great Pyramid?

No mummy has ever been officially discovered in a Pyramid. There are separate buildings that house mummies and these are called mastabas. And the Pharaohs were buried mostly in special places like the valley of the kings which is in the Egyptian dessert. It is only a theory that the pyramids have anything to do with the afterlife or burial. We do not know what the Pyramids were built for.


What treasures did king khufu have?

King Tutankhamun's tomb contained over 5,000 artifacts. If you ask any Archaeologist, they will say each one is a priceless treasure. The items in the tomb would have been used in the Pharaoh's afterlife and included everything from loin clothes and furniture to shabtis who would have provided all manual labor. The tomb also included items to give safe passage to the afterlife and protect the Pharaoh from harm. Of course, it also contained the mummy of the Pharaoh, himself, not to mention a whole lot of gold!

What were the colors used on the Great Sphinx of Giza and what are its colors now?

Basic facts about the Great Sphinx, including who was the model for the face, when it was built, and by whom, are still debated. There seems to be no evidence that any colouration was used overall, except that some slight remains of colour can be detected on the side of its face, but not dated. The present day natural colour is a dirty sandy-brown. The link below will give much more information.
