Sneferu's South (Bent) Pyramid

Home.

The southwest corner of Sneferu's bent pyramid. As you can see, most the casing stones are still intact. Although the core stones were laid in regular pattern, the blocks were not of the same size, and large gaps exist between many blocks.

Detail of the southwest corner. The casing stones are clearly inclined, and the haphazard placement of the core stones is quite evident.
