Pyramid G1-a, Ancient subsidiary pyramid in Giza East Field, Egypt

The pyramid rises 30 meters high with smooth limestone walls and measures 495 meters at its base in the eastern section of the Giza complex.

Built during the Fourth Dynasty around 2600 BC, this pyramid served as the final resting place for Queen Hetepheres I next to the Great Pyramid.

The pyramid construction demonstrates the advanced engineering methods of ancient Egyptians who created precise geometric structures for royal burials.

The burial chamber contains a specific architectural element: a small niche in the west wall where archaeologists found fragments of basalt.
