==Causeway== A causeway leads from the Bent Pyramids' northeast toward the pyramid with the valley temple. The causeway was paved with [[limestone block]]s that went 700 meters into the pyramid's court and had a low limestone wall on each side. For this reason of the causeway having low walls it made it so that sand would drift up it and would make it hard to enter or impossible to reenter without clearing out the sand, so there was a small bar wall that was placed with a staircase that led up into the Bent Pyramid. This lead Later for builders of the causeways to change how they were built and no longer leave the causeways open to the elements and to cover the causeways. The exit from the causeway leads into the pyramids court and was 2.80 meters wide. <ref>{{Cite book |last=fakhry |first=ahmed |title=The monuments of Sneferu at Dashur |publisher=United arab republic |year=1959 |location=General organization for government printing offices |pages=105-106}}</ref> In fact, there may have been a second causeway that led down to a dock or landing stage, but there is no excavation that can prove this assumption yet.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Hill |first1=Jenny |title=Dashur: Bent Pyramid of Sneferu |url=https://ancientegyptonline.co.uk/bent-pyramid-dashur/ |website=Ancient Egypt Online |publisher=Jenny Hill |access-date=25 September 2020}}</ref>
