Layer Pyramid

Layer Pyramid

The Layer Pyramid (known locally in Arabic as "Haram el-Meduwara", _ar. هرم المدورة, or Round Pyramid) is located in the necropolis of Zawyet el'Aryan. It is thought to be the tomb of Khaba, of the Third Dynasty, but this is based upon excavations in a tomb inside the pyramid complex, and is disputed.
