The original name of Khufu is Khnum-Khufu. It is the birth name of a Fourth Dynasty ancient Egyptian pharaoh, who ruled in the first half of the Old Kingdom period in 26th century BC. Khufu was the second pharaoh of the 4th dynasty who followed his possible father, King Sneferu, on the throne. He is generally accepted as having commissioned the Great Pyramid of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, but many other aspects of his reign is rather poorly documented.
