finish.

Your coin: Khufu
Khufu, Greek Cheops , second king of the 4th dynasty (c. 2575 - c. 2465 BC) Khufu's full name was Khnum-Khufwy, which means '[the god] Khnum protect
me'. He was the son of Sneferu and Queen Hetepheres I, and is believed
to have had three wives. He is famous for building the Great Pyramid at
Giza, one of the seven wonders of the world, but apart from this, we
know very little about him. His only surviving statue is, ironically,
the smallest piece of Egyptian royal sculpture ever discovered: a 7.5 cm
(3 inch) high ivory statue found at Abydos.
