Northern Mazghuna Pyramid

Monuments, Towers and Commemorative Structures

The Northern Mazghuna Pyramid is the funerary monument built for an undetermined Egyptian pharaoh of the Twelfth or Thirteenth Dynasty at Mazghuna, about 5 kilometers south of Dahshur. The building remained unfinished, and it is still unknown which pharaoh was intended to be buried there, since no appropriate inscription has been found. It was rediscovered in 1910 by Ernest Mackay and excavated the following year by Flinders Petrie.

Pyramid, Concepts

Entity-backed identity for the building-type enum value this building already carries, resolved to an architecture concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The building-type fact itself stays on the building unchanged.
