Rahotep was surely enough an influential magnate, and if we consider the time of intensive pyramid building, especially in Dasher, [note 2], as to which required the necessary logistical base of all works, the organisation of the construction itself and the provision of the necessary manpower.

Social structures for artisans and their families were built around large buildings, as they later developed in Giza during the reign of Rahotep's brother Cheops, as evidenced by archaeological findings in Heit el-Ghurhab.

[4] Rahotep took part in these works with the title of "head of construction supervision", albeit within the scope of his provincial powers.

Inside the innermost south - west corner is a division in the mass of brickwork, which can hardly have any meaning in terms of design, as it runs too close to the chamber.

[1] The most famous find of Mariette's workmen was the statue of Rahotep and his wife Nofret, simultaneously exhibited in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
