A narrow staircase carved deep into the limestone bedrock was found at the Djedefre pyramid site at Abu Rawash. Some explorers claim it descends into unknown depths with no visible bottom initially, and note the stairs are not wet or slippery. However, some researchers suggest it may be a Roman-era well rather than an ancient megalithic structure. The stairs eventually become covered with sand.
