Pyramid of Nyuserre Ini

The limestone pyramid rises 52 meters high with smooth sides, featuring a mortuary temple, causeway, and valley temple within the Abusir necropolis complex.

Built during the Fifth Dynasty around 2445 BC, this monument served as the final resting place for Pharaoh Nyuserre Ini who ruled Egypt for up to 35 years.

The pyramid's mortuary temple introduced the antichambre carrée, a square room with a central column that became standard in later Egyptian monuments.

The pyramid structure contains passages leading to a burial chamber lined with limestone blocks, accessed through an entrance on the north face.

Located between the pyramids of Neferirkare and Sahure, this structure marks the last royal burial in the Abusir necropolis.
