This structure is situated south of the main pyramid and is the easternmost of the three satellites.
The pyramid was built during the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt, presumably for one of the wives of Menkaure.
Egyptologist George Andrew Reisner was "confident" that the structure housed Khamerernebty II,[1][2][3] but this is far from certain.
[1] Egyptologist Mark Lehner argues that this is akin to the layout of a satellite or ka pyramid.
The fact that the structure once contained a pink granite sarcophagus,[1] however, has led scholars to speculate that it may have been reused as a queen's burial tomb, or that it served as a chapel where the body of Menkaure was mummified.
