White Pyramid, Ancient pyramid in Dahshur, Egypt.
The White Pyramid rises 75 meters high with steep walls made of limestone blocks and mud bricks arranged in a precise geometric pattern.
Constructed around 1920 BCE during the Middle Kingdom period, this pyramid served as the final resting place for Pharaoh Amenemhat II of the 12th Dynasty.
The internal chambers and passages reflect Egyptian beliefs about the afterlife, containing spaces for offerings and religious ceremonies within the burial complex.
The entrance to the pyramid sits on the northern face, leading through a descending limestone corridor that connects to the main burial chamber.
The surrounding rectangular enclosure measures 225 meters by 100 meters, containing tombs of royal family members and decorated with intricate hieroglyphic inscriptions.
