Abstract

The significant discrepancy between the slope of the pyramidion found a Dahshur and the slope of the Red Pyramid, beside which it was found, suggests that this pyramidion might have been planned for another pyramid. The study of other surviving pyramidia and the evidence provided by the other pyramids in the area seem to point to the second stage of the construction of the Bent Pyramid as its original destination.
