The Pyramid of Mecerinos is smaller than the other two pyramids belonging to his father, Khafre, and his grandfather Cheops; it reaches a height of 66.5 meters and the length of its base is 108.5 meters. Originally the Pyramid had a granite covering at its base, while its upper part was covered by the same cove stone that also covered the other two pyramids. Unfortunately these coatings came off and were later used for other constructions in later periods of Egyptian history.
