Menkarua, also known as Menkarue, was an Egyptian Pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty. Menkarua built the 3rd smallest pyramid of Giza, and was the son of the Egyptian Pharaoh, Khafre. Menkarua reigned for 18-28 years. Sheseskaf was Menkarua's successor and finished his pyramid after death. Menkarua married 3 different queens, one of which was his older sister, and had two sons and a daughter. There is a famous statue of Menkarua and his wife.
