The Pyramid of Nebka (Baka)
King Baka ruled for only 4 years, between Khafre and
Menkaure. The pyramid is unfinished and would have been close in size to that
of Khafre. Inside the pyramid a long, sloping passage leads down to a deep,
square pit. Similar to that of Djedefre, and in size 11.7m x 24m and 21m deep.
At the bottom it is paved with giant blocks of limestone and granite. The
granite Sarcophagus took the form of a great oval tub sunk into the pavement.
The site itself is within a military area, thus inaccessible. Unfortunately
I don't not have a photograph of this pyramid.
