It seems likely that the whole upper temple of
Henkaura resembles 5th Dynasty upper temples rather than
those of the 4th Dynasty. Ricke gave a summary on the
most important changes in the layout of the temples built
within the 5th Dynasty and compared them with the 4th
Dynasty temples. In Menkaura's temple, an entrance
corridor is seen which is not seen in the earlier 4th
Dynasty temples, yet is seen in 5th Dynasty temples. In
the general plan, the upper temple of Henkaura added to
the traditional form to create a new architectural
entity.78 it was likely that the cult of Menkaura was
different from that of Khufu and Khafra. The layout of
his temple was built to maintain this new cult. Instead
of a stela, as is reconstructed in the cult areas of
Khufu and Khafra, a false door was subsituted, such as is
found in the 5th Dynasty temples.
It is interesting to note that Menkaura ruled for 28
years,83 longer than either Khufu or Khafra, yet built a
smaller pyramid and left an unfinished complex at his death.
Maragioglio and Rinaldi believe that the inner
temple, or the private part which is between the base of
the pyramid and the temple wall, was used and rebuilt
several times in different periods.
