Niuserra's Pyramid
Niuserra's Pyramid submitted by AlexHunger : Niuserra was the 6th Pharao of the 5th Dynasty. His pyramid is one of the 4 in Abusir, but about 1 Km North West of the other 3. Access is however even more difficult. It is made of more regular blocks but many are missing. The Sun Temple in front of Sahure's Pyramid is more prominent. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Pyramid in Lower Egypt (North)

Niuserra was the 6th Pharao of the 5th Dynasty. His pyramid is one of the 4 in Abusir, but about 1 Km North West of the other 3. Access is however even more difficult.

It is made of more regular blocks, but many are missing.

The Sun Temple in front of Sahure's Pyramid is the more prominent of Sahure's monuments.
