The Pyramid of Neferirkare
The EAST face.
The SOUTH face.
The WEST face.
There
is the NORTH face of the pyramid, which leads to the entrance. As with the
other pyramids at Abu Sir, the entrance is also blocked with debris and
can no longer be entered. Form this entrance, a short descending passageway
levels off to a continuing passageway. This then leads to an antechamber
with a gabled roof. On the west side of the antechamber is a small passageway
that leads to the main burial chamber, also sporting a gabled roof with
3 layers of limestone. The chambers are badly damaged and no traces of the
royal treasure, the sarcophagus or the kings remains have been found in
this pyramid.
