The Layer Pyramid is a ruined step pyramid of the Third Dynasty of Egypt, located in the necropolis of Zawyet El Aryan. Its ownership is uncertain, though it is often attributed to the pharaoh Khaba. Its architecture closely resembles that of the nearby Buried Pyramid of King Sekhemkhet, which is the main evidence used to date it firmly to the Third Dynasty.
