The Pharaoh Keops or Khufu, was the second ruler of the fourth dynasty of ancient Egypt. He is remembered more for the construction of his tomb, the Great Pyramid of Giza, one of the seven wonders of the world, than for any other kind of feat.

After his death, his family made three divisions. His first wife, Merey, was the mother of DjedefHor and Buefre, neither of whom succeeded him on the throne. The second part was headed by DjedefRe's mother, who ruled eight years after Cheops' death.

Cheops' real name is Khnum-Khufwy, which means "the god Jnum protects me."
