Pyramid of Neferhetepes, Queen pyramid from Old Kingdom period in Saqqara, Egypt
The Pyramid of Neferhetepes stands 100 meters south of Userkaf's pyramid, featuring a three-level core structure covered with white limestone blocks.
Built around 2490 BCE, this pyramid served as the final resting place for Queen Neferhetepes, wife of Pharaoh Userkaf and mother of Sahure.
The pyramid complex includes a mortuary temple on its eastern side, following traditional ancient Egyptian architectural principles for royal burial structures.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site of Saqqara, located 32 kilometers south of Cairo, through organized tours that include transportation and entrance fees.
The identity of the pyramid's owner was confirmed through an inscription found in priest Persen's tomb, now preserved in the Berlin Museum.
