Southern South Saqqara pyramid

In 2008, the Egyptologist Christoffer Theis proposed that the pyramid was built for king Djehuti, based on an inscription discovered nearby by Gustave Jéquier.

The complex consists in a hypogeum, a barely started superstructure and a wavy enclosure wall; other expected subsidiary structures, such as the cult pyramid, funerary temple, etc., were not found.

[1] Remarkably, two uninscribed cap-stones made from black granite were discovered within the site, which seem to have brought there quite early compared to the incomplete superstructure.

The passage continues west through the second (on the left) and third (on the right) portcullises, each of which involves a level change without stairs, and finally arriving to the last fork, which is a hallway leading to the two sarcophagus chambers.

[3] Considering the size, complexity, and quality of various parts of the hypogeum, Rainer Stadelmann argued that the owner should have been an important (or at least ambitious) pharaoh when compared with the standards of the period.

Ryholt excluded Wegaf due to his too-brief reign compared to the regnal years on the construction labels, and rather proposed Imyremeshaw or his successor Sehetepkare Intef as possible owners.

[7] Landua-McCormack suggested that the two sarcophagus chambers might have belonged to two brother pharaohs of the 13th Dynasty, such as the relatively wealthy kings Neferhotep I and Sobekhotep IV.

[8] However, continuing excavations in Abydos have since led Egyptologist Josef Wegner to attribute tombs S9 and S10 to Neferhotep I and Sobekhotep IV instead.
