As far as we know about the subject of the great pyramids, the three great ones were cased and covered with carvings and Hieroglyphs and this information was brought to us by ancient travelers from Greece and the neighborhood. Nothing survived from the carvings except the one found on the exterior of the pyramid of king Mycerinus or Menkawra which is around 2600 B.C. That text is incised on rid granite and mentions the date the kind died on it, in addition to some praises and epitaphs. The text determines the death of the king to be on the twenty third day of the third month in winter season" Pert "and wishes for the king a divine burial and the starting of the text is damaged in a way that we miss the chance to read the year count for the reign of the king ,then the text includes the cartouche of king Menkawra.
