Pyramid of Athribis, Step pyramid in Tell Atrib, Egypt.
The small mudbrick pyramid stands at the southern edge of the Nile Delta, measuring approximately 20 meters on each side with an incline of 50 degrees.
French scholars during Napoleon's Egyptian expedition documented the pyramid between 1798 and 1801, publishing detailed engravings and maps in the Description de l'Égypte.
The pyramid represented local authority in Athribis, a city that served as the capital of the tenth Lower Egyptian nome during the Old Kingdom period.
Archaeological investigations at the site remain limited due to extensive urban development in the modern city of Banha, which has altered the original landscape.
This structure holds distinction as the northernmost pyramid in Egypt and remains the only known pyramid constructed within the Nile Delta region.
