Pyramid of Ameny Qemau, Egyptian pyramid in Dahshur, Egypt.

The Pyramid of Ameny Qemau stands 35 meters tall with a base of 52 meters, constructed primarily from mudbrick in the Giza Governorate.

Charles Albert Muses discovered this thirteenth dynasty pyramid in 1957, which was built around 1745 BCE during the Second Intermediate Period of Egypt.

The burial chamber contains a massive quartzite block with carved receptacles designed specifically for canopic jars and sarcophagi storage.

The pyramid structure maintains its lower sections, including a corridor leading inside with stairs and a chamber connected to a southern ramp.

Archaeologists found an alabaster block inscribed with ten columns of hieroglyphic text mentioning the pharaoh and a royal female family member.
