Pyramid of Neferirkare

Pyramid of Neferirkare

The Pyramid of Neferirkare (its ancient name translated as The Ba of Neferirkare^[3]) was built for the Fifth Dynasty pharaoh Neferirkare Kakai –referred to as Neferirkare– in the 25th century BC.^[5][a] It was the tallest structure located on the highest site at the necropolis site of Abusir –found between Giza and Saqqara– and still towers over the necropolis today. It is significant for the discovery of the Abusir papyri, which would not have been possible if not for the unusual circumstances in which it was built.
