The Great Pyramid of Khufu: the first and the largest pyramid of the three pyramids of Giza it is suggested that it took 20 years to build, with 10 years alone spent preparing the site and building the causeway.
Pyramid of Khafre: the second pyramid and it is believed to have taken a similar amount of time to construct, around 20 to 25 years.
Pyramid of Menkaure: The third pyramid and the smallest of the three and likely took less time to build, possibly 15 to 20 years.
Actually there are 3 kings who built the pyramids
Pharaoh Khufu was the first Egyptian king to build a pyramid in Giza, His Great Pyramid is the largest in Giza and originally towered some 481 feet (147 meters) above the plateau.
The second pharaoh is Khufu’s son, Khafre, who built the second pyramid at Giza. His burial ground stands out on the landscape because it also includes the Sphinx, a mysterious limestone monument with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh.The Sphinx, which spent thousands of years buried in sand with only its head visible before the 1800s, may stand as a sentinel for the pharaoh’s tomb complex, although there is no definitive proof that he built it. The third pharaoh is Khafre’s son Menkaure who built The third of the Giza Pyramids is considerably smaller than the first two—less than half their height at about 218 feet. And now with the hardest question
There is no doubt that the builders were Egyptian workers who lived in a nearby temporary city beside the construction site. Archaeologists have discovered many pieces of evidence that support this theory, such as the remains of bakeries and piles of animal bones, which indicate that the workers were very well-fed for their labor. However, despite all these findings, even today, scientists and engineers cannot be certain exactly how the pyramids were built.
Egypt’s pharaohs expected to become gods in the afterlife. To prepare for the next world they erected temples to the gods and massive pyramid tombs for themselves that’s why filled with all the things each ruler would need to guide and sustain himself in the next world. Each of the three massive pyramids is but one part of a larger complex, including a palace, temples, solar boat pits, and other features.
All of these discoveries about Egyptian civilization that continually surprise us will keep coming, even into eternity.

There are many theories that it is talking about this topic but The most widely accepted theory is that the Great Sphinx of Giza was built as a guardian figure for the Giza Pyramid complex. The Sphinx, with its lion’s body and human head, symbolized strength and wisdom, qualities that were believed to protect the pharaohs in their journey to the afterlife. The Sphinx is strategically placed to face east, where the sun rises, symbolizing the dawn of life and rebirth.
It is a pyramid that was built by the king Sneferu and it is located in the Dahshur necropolis, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) south of Cairo, It stands approximately 104 meters (341 feet) tall and has a base length of about 220 meters (722 feet) on each side so that It is the third-largest Egyptian pyramid after those of Khufu and Khafre at Giza and its name of “Red” is due to the reddish rusty color of its blocks.
The Bent Pyramid is another pyramid built by Sneferu.
due to its unusual shape. The lower portion of the pyramid rises at a steep angle of 54 degrees, but about halfway up, the angle changes abruptly to a shallower 43 degrees, giving the pyramid its distinctive “bent” appearance.
