Ibi is one of the best attested kings of the Eighth Dynasty due to the discovery of his small pyramid in South Saqqara.

[2][5] According to Kim Ryholt's latest reconstruction of the Turin canon, another king list compiled in the Ramesside era, Qakare Ibi is also attested there on column 5, line 10 (Gardiner 4.11, von Beckerath 4.10).

As a result, the monument appears today as a 3 m (9.8 ft) high heap of mud and limestone chips in the sands of Saqqara.

On the north side of the edifice, Jéquier found an 8 m (26 ft) long limestone-clad corridor leading down with an inclination of 25° to a large granite portcullis.

On the west side of the burial chamber is a false door and a huge granite block on which once stood the sarcophagus of the king.

Adjacent to the east side of the pyramid is a small mudbrick chapel which served as temple for the cult of the dead king.

Inside the temple, immediately against the pyramid wall is an offering hall where Jequier found a stone washbasin as well as stele or a false door of which only the foundations remain.
