For great importance it reached during the 4th Dynasty, when the Pharoahs Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure Giza selected as the location for their pyramids. In addition to the Pharaohs also their family members as well as officials and priests were buried. By the end of the Old Kingdom in the 6th Dynasty, originated several hundred graves.
