Pyramid G1-c, Subsidiary pyramid in Giza Necropolis, Egypt

The southern pyramid of the Giza East Field stands 29.62 meters tall with a base width of 46.25 meters, featuring smooth limestone sides.

Archaeological evidence reveals a four-inch deep niche in the burial chamber's south wall, distinguishing it from other subsidiary pyramids.
