Although the pyramid looks like an ant hill, it is said to be the best conserved pyramid in Abusir. It was the second pyramid that was built there. It is the highest of them all but has never been completed. Moreover, parts of the burial site were taken in possession by Niuserre. Papyri that were found in the mortuary temple could tell us about details of administration of the temple and everyday life.\
