Southern Mazghuna pyramid, Unfinished pyramid in Mazghuna, Egypt.

The Southern Mazghuna pyramid features a base measuring 52.5 meters on each side with mudbrick core masonry reaching only two layers in height.

Ernest Mackay discovered this pyramid in 1910, followed by extensive excavations conducted by archaeologist Flinders Petrie in the subsequent year.

The burial chamber contains an unused quartzite sarcophagus and several artifacts including limestone lamps, an alabaster duck vessel, and a makeup container.

The entrance is located on the south side, leading through a staircase to a horizontal passage with blocking stones and additional chambers.

The pyramid complex includes a wavy perimeter wall and remnants of a chapel with a central chamber flanked by additional rooms on each side.
