Pyramid of Cheops

They had built the pyramids, on which Cheops put his name many thousands of years later; when Egypt was swamped by a flood, some seventy-seven thousand years ago, the people tried to climb these pyramids for safety, as the waters rose, but failed in consequence of the smoothness of their sides.

Herodotus

Account of Cheops

Herodotus describes Cheops (also known as Khufu) and his building of the Great Pyramid in Book 2, Chapter 124-127 of "Histories":

Cheops' Tyranny:

Herodotus portrays Cheops as a tyrannical ruler who oppressed his people to build the pyramid.

"Cheops brought the country into all sorts of misery.

According to Herodotus, Cheops forced labor upon the Egyptians to build the Great Pyramid.

Herodotus mentions that Cheops even resorted to extreme measures, such as the prostitution of his daughter, to fund the construction.

"Cheops...having exhausted his treasures, was compelled to make his daughter enter a brothel and charge for her favors.".

Cheops' Successor:

Herodotus states that Cheops was succeeded by his brother Chephren, who also built a pyramid, but was less oppressive.

"After Cheops, his brother Chephren reigned over Egypt.

"Cheops reigned fifty years; at his death, he was succeeded by his brother Chephren, who imitated the example of Cheops" (Histories, Book 2, 2.127).

Babel Story of Cholula

It is even now, in its ruined condition, 160 feet high, 1400 feet square at the base, and covers forty-five acres; we have only to remember that the greatest pyramid of Egypt, Cheops, covers but twelve or thirteen acres, to form some conception of the magnitude of this American structure.
