Pyramid in Upper Egypt (South)

Small steped pyramid built of rough granite blocks bound with a clay mortar, first discovered by by a French expedition in 1909. Like most the other small pyramids, it seems to be aligned with the Nile river, and was built on a rock plateau that had been worked specifically as a foundation.
Found artifacts with an inscription of Huni, the last ruler of the 3rd Dynasty, allow the cenotaph pyramid to be attributed to him.
