The pyramid of Ity was probably the tomb of Pharaoh Ity [de] who reigned during the 8th dynasty. It has never been discovered and is known only from a cliff-face inscription at Wadi Hammamat in the Eastern Desert, where there were several quarries in Pharaonic times.
The name of the pyramid, Baw-Iti ("the power of Ity"), may be a direct reference to the name of the pyramid of Neferefre, Netjeri-baw-Ra-nefer-ef ("the power of Neferefre is divine"), from the 5th Dynasty.[1]
