The southeast corner of the Meidum pyramid. The very large mound of debris is quite evident in the middle ground surrounding the pyramid. In fact the debris is the base of the once 'true' pyramid, is is not really debris at all. The desert covers the limestone blocks that make up this section. This is very clear when one examines the structure were the sand has been cleared away.
Several views of the Meidum Pyramid from the desert.
