Pyramid G1-b, Queen pyramid in Giza complex, Egypt.
Pyramid G1-b is a queen pyramid in the Giza complex with a base of 49 meters and stands 30 meters high, located east of the Great Pyramid. The structure is part of a group of three subsidiary pyramids that surround the main monument.
The monument was built during the Fourth Dynasty around 2575 BC and served as a burial place for a royal family member from Khufu's reign. The pyramid was constructed during a period of intense pyramid building activity at the Giza plateau.
The pyramid was built as a tomb for a royal woman and reflects how ancient Egyptians constructed monuments for members of the royal family. The limestone structure shows the building methods that were available during that period.
The pyramid is accessible through the eastern section of the Giza archaeological complex and can be visited during regular hours. Both guided tours and self-guided exploration are available, with early morning hours typically less crowded.
Archaeologists still debate the exact identity of the person for whom this pyramid was built, with different researchers proposing different names. This uncertainty reveals how many secrets ancient Egypt still holds.
