===Layer Pyramid=== [[File:Khaba pyramid at Zawyet el'Aryan.jpg|thumb|220px|right|The Layer Pyramid, attributed to Khaba, who may be the same person as Huni.]] As mentioned before, Rainer Stadelmann thinks it could be possible Huni built the so-called ''[[Layer Pyramid]]'' at [[Zawyet el'Aryan]]. According to Stadelmann and Jean-Phillipe Lauer, this monument was nearly finished when it was left incomplete. It is unknown, though, if the subterranean complex actually was ever used for the burial of the king. The necropolis of the Layer Pyramid has still not fully been investigated. A nearby mastaba ('''''Mastaba Z500'''''), which was integrated into the pyramid complex, contained several stone bowls with the Horus name of king Khaba. Thus, the Layer Pyramid is commonly known as the pyramid of Khaba. Rainer Stadelmann proposes an identification of Khaba with Huni. He argues that the finishing of the pyramid lasted a long period of time and since the Turin Canon credits a 24-year reign to Huni, this time span surely covered the building time needed for the pyramid. Thus, both names ("Huni" and "Khaba") might point to one and the same ruler.<ref name=RSH/><ref>Miroslav Verner: ''Die Pyramiden.'' Rowohlt, Wiesbaden 1999, {{ISBN|3-499-60890-1}}, p. 174.</ref>
