Place : Dahshur.

Description : Located at the royal necropolis of Dahshur. The lower part of the pyramid has a 54 degrees slope, the higher section is 43 degrees, lending to the pyramid its "bent" aspect. This originality is due to its construction that show some signs of instability. The manufacturers revised their plan by reducing the slope, avoiding its collapse.
