Pyramid of Minker or Pyramid of King Mengra is one of the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. Built by the pharaoh Munkar son of King Khafre. The length of each side of the ribs is 108.5 meters and the height is 65.5 meters, and now 62 meters after the fall of its external shape.
Its angle is 51 ° 20'25 ", and its entrance is to the north. The entrance rises about 4 meters above the surface of the earth and leads to a 31-meter low landing strip. The angle of its slope is simple about 17 degrees. It was built of limestone, but Munqara chose to build the lower part of it from the granite that was brought from Aswan by the River Nile. The granite coverage is about 17 meters high. The rest of the coverage was done with white stones until the height of 5 and 65 meters.
At the end of the sloping corridor is a stone-lined vestibule, leading to a horizontal corridor with three barricades and then the burial chamber. He was found on a wooden coffin named Munkara and his mummies. The drowned mummy is now reserved at the British Museum. He called his name the "holy".
To the south of the Pyramid of Menkara there are three pyramids dedicated to the kingdoms extending eastward to the west of the first pyramid.
