Pharoah of Egypt (IV Dynasty)
King Menkaure probably was a man in his early middle age when he reached the throne. He built a pyramid of a modest size at Giza.
According to Greek historian Herodotos Menkaure was a good and wise pharaoh who was loved by his people (his father and grandfather were not).
He gave liberty to the people, opened the temples for everybody and listened to their complains.
In the first decades of the 1900s half a dozen of statues were found of him. They were mostly triads showing himself and two goddesses, and all in an excellent condition (see picture left).
