The Southern South Saqqara Pyramid〔Mark Lehner, ''The Complete Pyramids'', Thames and Hudson, London 1997, pp. 187. ISBN 0-500-05084-8.〕 (also Unfinished Pyramid at South Saqqara;〔Dawn McCormack, "The Significance of Royal Funerary Architecture in the Study of 13th Dynasty Kingship." In M. Marée (ed) ''The Second Intermediate Period (13th-17th Dynasties), Current Research, Future Prospects'', Belgium: Peeters Leuven, 2010, pp. 69-84.〕 Lepsius XLVI; SAK S 6〔Christoffer Theis, "Zum Eigentümer der Pyramide Lepsius XLVI / SAK S 6 im Süden von Sakkara", ''Göttinger Miszellen'' 218 (2008), pp. 101–105〕) is an ancient Egyptian royal tomb which was built during the 13th Dynasty in South Saqqara, and is renowned for having the most elaborate hypogeum since the late 12th Dynasty pyramids.〔 The building remained unfinished and is still unknown which pharaoh was really intended to be buried here since no appropriate inscription has been found. ==Pyramid complex== The pyramid was rediscovered in the 1910-11 campaign by Ernest Mackay and Flinders Petrie; in 1929-30 Gustave Jéquier performed a detailed exploration of the complex. It is located southwest of the pyramid of Khendjer and was planned to be slightly larger: in fact, the base was designed to be a square of per side, against the of the one of Khendjer. The pyramid complex consists in a hypogeum, a barely started superstructure and a wavy enclosure wall; other structures such as the cult pyramid, funerary temple etc were not found. Two uninscribed ''pyramidia'' made from black granite were discovered within the site and seems to have brought here quite early compared to the completion status of the superstructure.〔 Fine Tura limestone bricks were used for the walls of the hypogeum; the same material was also used for the incomplete superstructure foundations, the trench of which was deep and wide. The unique sinusoid-shaped enclosure wall, relatively well conserved, was made from mudbricks and was thick with deep foundations. At the four corners of the pyramid few objects belonging to the foundation deposits has been found and none of these bears any name.〔Franco Cimmino, ''Storia delle Piramidi''.
