The Pyramid of Mikerin (or Menkaure) is located in Giza and is one of the Great Pyramids. Moreover, it is the lowest among them - only 66 m in height (half the size of the Cheops pyramid). But she amazes her imagination no less than her famous neighbors. For the construction of the pyramid, huge monolithic blocks were used, the weight of one of them is about 200 tons. It still remains a mystery how he was delivered to the place of construction. The quality of the finishing of the blocks outside and inside the pyramid, as well as the carefully processed tunnels and internal chambers, is also surprising.
In this pyramid in the 19th century, a mysterious basalt sarcophagus was discovered, which it was decided to send to England. But on the way, the ship was caught in a storm and sank off the coast of Spain. Only the drawings of the sarcophagus, made in 1882 (you will see them below), have survived.
