The pyramids of Khafre and Khufu (the Great Pyramid) and associated tombs and mortuary temples.
As with most temple complexes in Egypt, these cemeteries would have been like small cities within themselves, filled by the priests who staffed the mortuary temples and made offerings to the dead, as well as the many people who would have attended them, not to mention the overseers of building works, labourers and all of the support they too would have needed to bring provisions to and from the site.
The idea of the pyramids as isolated and deserted tombs in the middle of the desert is a more modern fantasy. These were always a central part of a busy, well-organised, stratified and highly-bureaucratic culture. The astonishing thing is not how they were built, but the sheer complexity and organisation of the ancient culture that already existed in 2600BC.
