Khafra in ancient Greek legend
The historian Manetho calls Khafra king "Sûphis II" and records that he reigned for 66 years, yet he does not write down any other commentaries on him[9] [10] [11] [twelfth].
Other ancient Greek historians such as Diodorus and Herodotus describe Khafra as a cruel and heretical tyrant. They wrote that Khafra (whom they called "Khephren" to attack Khafra's name) succeeded his father, Kheops, after the tyrant king's death. Later, Herodotus and Diodor say that Khafra ruled for 56 years and that the Egyptians suffered under his reign as it did under his father before. Because Khufu was said to have ruled for 50 years, it was recorded that the Egyptians endured the reigns of these two kings for 106 years[9][10][11].
They then record that King Menkaura (whom they call "Mykerînós") was the successor to Khafra and that this king was a complete founder of the first two kingdoms: Herodotus records that Menkaura was sad and disappointed about the evil of Khufu and Khafra, so Menkaura restored peace to Egypt[9][10][11].
Modern Egyptologists today view the stories of Herodotus and Diodorus as a smear, based on both authors' time-balanced review. The pyramid-like tombs at Giza gave rise to the support of the Greeks and later New Kingdom kingdoms because they certainly still remember the location of the pharaoh Akhenaten and his constructions. build build his parameters. This view can be given by the fact that, at the time of Khafra's life, only the king had the right to create statues of precious stones and display them in public places openly. And at a time when Greek agents and these priesthood positions were in existence, they could not explain why Khafra's programs and statues were so impressive, the best explanation. is to be created by a king with megalomania. These views were later adopted by Greek historians, who also gave Khafra a negative review, because bad stories were easier to accept by them than positive stories ( and doing it is extremely boring) [9][10][11][12].
