Mazghuna

Mazghuna (also known as Al Mazghunah or Al-Muzghumah), 5 km to the south of Dahshur, is the site of several mudbrick pyramids dating from the 12th Dynasty.

Amenemhat IV and Sobekneferu have been suggested as the owners of two unfinished pyramids at Mazghuna, but there is no conclusive evidence of this.

There was a large granite plug ready to slide over the top however it was never used since no one was ever buried there.

The Northern Mazghuna pyramid was planned even larger than this one but the superstructure was never begun.

[1] The Amelia Peabody mystery The Mummy Case (by Elizabeth Peters) was set in Mazghuna.
