Just west of the step pyramid, about 500m, is the double mastaba of Ptah-Hotep and Akhet-Hotep. Akhet-hotep was a dignitary who lived during the end of the fifth dynasty. The beauty of the bas-reliefs of Ptah-hotep's portion of the tomb, Akhet-Hotep's son,which is almost an annex of the main tomb, has given this mastaba its common name of the tomb of Ptah-hotep.
