Flinders Petrie surveyed Dahshur's Sneferu subsidiary pyramid in 1887 but found its entrance blocked. Jean-Joseph Lepre entered and diagrammed the passages in 1889; Jacques de Morgan published the diagram in 1897.
The northern side and interior were cleared in 1947 by Abdul Salam Hussein, who died in 1949 before his results were published. Ahmed Fakhry later found a chapel, two serdab bases and a broken serdab depicting Sneferu comparable to reliefs from the Bent Pyramid's temples. Luigi Maragioglio and Ugo Rinaldi published their findings in 1964, and AERA entered and photographed the pyramid in 2013.
The video presents Charles Rigano's proposal that this may have been Sneferu's final pyramid and a blueprint for Khufu's Great Pyramid.
