What was the name of the chamber inside the Great Pyramid of Giza that held the pharaoh’s sarcophagus?

The King’s Chamber was the chamber inside the Great Pyramid of Giza that held the pharaoh’s sarcophagus.

The Great Pyramid was built for Pharaoh Khufu during Egypt’s Fourth Dynasty. Its internal design includes the descending passage, the subterranean chamber, the Queen’s Chamber, the Grand Gallery, and the King’s Chamber. The King’s Chamber is located high within the pyramid and is built largely from red granite.

A granite sarcophagus remains in the chamber, although it is empty. The pyramid was looted in antiquity, so no royal mummy or burial treasure was found there by modern explorers. The chamber’s name reflects its accepted funerary function rather than a surviving inscription identifying the occupant directly.

The Grand Gallery is often confused with the King’s Chamber because it leads to it. The Queen’s Chamber is another separate room and was probably not the burial chamber of a queen.
