Southern South Saqqara Pyramid

Monuments, Towers and Commemorative Structures

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.

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.
