After Saladin drove out the invading crusaders from the Middle East, he decided to divide up his holdings amongst his sons.
His son Al-Malik al-Aziz Uthman was given control of present-day Egypt, and he decided that he would make the area more Islamic – specifically by destroying the pyramids. However, the pyramids were built so well using such heavy stones that Al Malik al-Aziz had to give up on the endeavor in the late 1100s CE. That is why there is a giant gash in the Pyramid of Menkaure.
