The mastaba of Ptahshepses
This is by far the most significant mastaba at Abusir,
and well worth the visit. Several rectangular pillars have been re-erected
in the courtyard. The parts exposed are heavily eroded. Ptahhepses was vizier
to Sahure. The mastaba is situated just a few dozen meters south of the pyramid
of Sahure. The mastaba contains an extremely interesting tomb complete with
intact sarcophagus.
