^The pyramid complex covers 37 acres (15 ha) and provides several cultic buildings. It is one of the best preserved Old Kingdom royal cemeteries and hides several, huge underground mazes of niched corridors and chambers.
^Rediscovered in 1951 by Zakaria Goneim. Famous for its sarcophagus made of alabaster, which was found in situ and sealed. Surprisingly, the sarcophagus was empty and possibly never in use.
^The connection to king Khaba is disputed, since not a single artifact with any royal name was found in the underground chambers.
