The Satellite Pyramid of Pepy I

The Satellite Pyramid of Pepy I is placed at is orthodox place, to the south-east of the main pyramid of king Pepy. Its coming corridor opens onto a high single chamber. The archaeological remains, such as parts of statues, stelae and offering tables, discovered here read that the cult for Pepi I covered to well into the Middle Kingdom. An inscription left behind by Khaemwaset, the illustrious son of the even more known Ramses II, reports how, by his time, this complex had suffered and rotted. Nevertheless, it was this complex that would have its name, mn-nfr, to the nearby city, noted today under its Greek name, Memphis.
