Wikipedia, December 12, 2017 (Khufu, usually known as Cheops, originally Khnum-Khufu, was an ancient Egyptian monarch, who ruled during the Fourth Dynasty in the first half of the Old Kingdom period (26th century BC). Khufu was the second ruler of the 4th dynasty; he followed his possible father, king Sneferu, on the throne; Khufu is well known under his Hellenized name Khêops or Cheops (Greek: Χέοψ = Cheops, by Diodorus and Herodotus) and less well known under another Hellenized name, Súphis (Greek: Σούφις = Souphis, by Manetho). A rare version of the name of Khufu, used by Josephus, is Sofe (Greek: Σόφε = Sophe).
