When were these pyramids inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site?
In the middle, a few hundred metres to its southwest, is the Pyramid of Khafre, or Chephren, who was one of Khufu's successors. The Pyramid of Khafre is the one with the Sphinx a short distance in front of it, and often appears in photographs with the Sphinx, which according to Egyptologists, was modelled after the Pharoah Khafre. It is often thought to be the largest of the pyramids, but it is not. Its large appearance is due in part to its position on a higher elevation.
A few hundred meters to the southwest of the Pyramid of Khafre is that of his successor, the Pharoah Menkaure. The Pyramid of Menkaure is the smallest of the three great pyramids.
