Pyramid of Khui : ウィキペディア英語版 | Pyramid of Khui
The pyramid of Khui is an ancient Egyptian funerary structure datable to the early First Intermediate Period (2181 BC - 2055 BC) and located in the royal necropolis of Dara, near Manfalut in Middle Egypt and close to the entrance of the Dakhla Oasis.〔Mark Lehner, ''The Complete Pyramids'', London, 2008, Thames & Hudson, ISBN 978-0-500-28547-3, p. 164〕 It is generally attributed to Khui, an obscur ruler of the 8th dynasty, perhaps reigning c. 2150 BC. The pyramid complex of Khui included a mortuary temple and a mud brick enclosure wall which, like the main pyramid, are now completely ruined. == Excavations == The ruined pyramid was first mentioned in a 1912 article of the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. Later, between 1946 and 1948, the complex was explored by the egyptologists Raymond Weill and Ahmed Kamal.〔Raymond Weill: ''Dara. Campagne de 1946-1948'', Cairo, 1958.〕 Due both to the ruined state of the structure and to the building's atypical architecture, Kamal believed it to be a huge mastaba while Weill thought it was a pyramid. Even today, in spite of the fact that the building is commonly considered to be a pyramid (and possibly a step pyramid), it is not yet possible to determine with certainty which type of tomb it was, and one cannot exclude that it was indeed a mastaba.〔Lehner, p. 164 ff. (''Die Pyramiden der ersten Zwischenzeit'')〕〔Verner, p. 416 ff. (''Das Monumentalgrab in Dara'')〕
