Pyramid in Lower Egypt (North)

Very large 80 Meter by 35 Meter and several Meters tall mud brick mastaba probably attributed to 3rd Dynasty King Sanakht. Djpser brother and predecessor. Other sources suggest the ownership is probably attributable to some high official or Sanakht queen or Pharaoh Khasekhemwy's wife, Nimaathapi. The tomb is heavily eroded and cetainly not as well preserved as the giant tomb K1 next door.
