This site, halfway between Giza and [[Abusir]], is the location for two unfinished Old Kingdom pyramids. The northern structure's owner is believed to be pharaoh [[Nebka]], while the southern structure, known as the [[Layer Pyramid]], may be attributable to the Third Dynasty pharaoh [[Khaba]], a close successor of [[Sekhemkhet]]. If this attribution is correct, Khaba's short reign could explain the seemingly unfinished state of this step pyramid. Today it stands around {{convert|17|m|ft|abbr=on}} high; had it been completed, it is likely to have exceeded {{convert|40|m|ft|abbr=on}}.
