Unfinished Northern Pyramid of Zawyet el'Aryan

The unfinished pyramid features a T-shaped shaft aligned south to north, with substantial granite blocks placed within its incomplete chamber construction.

Dating back to the early Fourth Dynasty between 2613-2494 BC, this monument represents an interrupted construction project from Egypt's Old Kingdom period.

The inscriptions in black and red ink found on chamber walls contain potential clues about the pyramid's ownership, sparking debates among Egyptologists.

Located 8 kilometers southwest of Giza, the pyramid base measures 200 meters by 200 meters, with only the natural bedrock foundation completed.

An unusual oval-shaped vat discovered within the chamber contained unidentified substances and remained sealed upon its initial discovery.
