Description
This Pyramid could easily be ignored for it resembles a pile of dirt and rubble. Although the exterior is rather shambolic, the interior is rather elaborate. It contains the earliest known examples of Pyramid Texts in a pharaonic tomb. The Pyramid Texts are a collection of written rituals and hymns of the Ancient Egyptian religion, intended to guide the soul into the afterlife. The Pyramid is currently closed due to the deterioration of the interior.
