Khafre’s complex features the valley temple, the Sphinx temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple, and the king’s pyramid, home to several statues found by archaeologist Mariette in 1860. Menkaure’s complex includes a valley temple, causeway, mortuary temple, and three subsidiary pyramids, completed around 2510 BC.
