Pyramid G1-b, Queen pyramid in Giza complex, Egypt.

The Pyramid G1-b stands 30 meters high with a base of 49 meters, positioned east of the Great Pyramid of Giza as part of three subsidiary structures.

Built during the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt around 2575 BC, this smooth-sided pyramid served as a burial place for a royal figure of Khufu's reign.

The limestone construction of Pyramid G1-b demonstrates the Egyptian architectural methods used for royal tombs during the Old Kingdom period.

Visitors can access the pyramid through the eastern section of the Giza archaeological site, where guided tours operate from morning until late afternoon.

Archaeological research suggests two different attributions for this pyramid: either Queen Meritites I according to Mark Lehner or Queen Noubet according to Zahi Hawass.
