Abstract: The article is devoted to the philosophic-art-historian research of Khufu pyramid (Antique Empire). As the theoretical basis of the research the author has developed the system of representation of artistic culture works being developed in two vectors: a vector “representation volume” appeared in four extreme notions – “nature”, “society”, “man”, “God”, and a vector “representation content” presented by a number of levels: social-status level, hedonistically-contemplative level, didactically-protreptic level, formative-educational level, emotional level, spiritual level. As the key elements the representation system of artistic culture works consists of ordinary works-representatives, cultural etalons of representation volume, cultural etalons of representation content, representative counterpoint. The methods which allow carrying out the research of representative possibilities of any artistic culture creation are general scientific methods of cognition with the predominant role of extrapolation method. The author concludes that the visual image of Khufu pyramid being appeared in the ideal relation of the spectator and the work of art is a representative counterpoint which includes the whole volume and content of representation. In the article the author sequentially releases the stages of establishment of Khufu pyramid visual image in vectors “representation volume” and “representation content”.
