King Menkaure, also known as Mykerinos, was a pharaoh of ancient Egypt's Fourth Dynasty, ruling from around 2532 to 2503 BC ¹. He's famous for building the third and smallest pyramid at the Giza Necropolis, known as the Pyramid of Menkaure.
Family and Reign
Menkaure was the son of Pharaoh Khafre and the grandson of Khufu, the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza ¹. He had at least two wives, Queen Khamerernebty II and Queen Rekhetre, and several children, including Khuenre, Shepseskaf, and possibly Khentkaus I ¹.
Pyramid and Legacy
Menkaure's pyramid at Giza was called Netjer-er-Menkaure, meaning "Menkaure is Divine" ¹. Although it's the smallest of the three main pyramids, it's still an impressive structure, originally standing at 65.5 meters tall ¹. The pyramid complex includes three subsidiary pyramids, which may have been intended for Menkaure's queens ¹.

Menkaure is famously depicted in a statue alongside his queen, Khamerernebty II, now housed at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston ². The statue showcases the serene and ethereal beauty of the royal couple, with Menkaure wearing the traditional short pleated kilt and the iconic striped nemes headdress ².
Overall, King Menkaure's legacy is marked by his impressive architectural achievements and his enduring artistic depictions, which continue to fascinate us today.
