The Southern South Saqqara Pyramid is an ancient Egyptian royal tomb built during the Thirteenth Dynasty in South Saqqara, notable for having the most elaborate underground chamber system built since the pyramids of the late Twelfth Dynasty. The building remains unfinished, and its owner is still uncertain since no unambiguous evidence has settled the question, though in 2008 the Egyptologist Christoffer Theis proposed that it was built for King Djehuti, based on a nearby inscription discovered by Gustave Jequier.
