The Ministry of Antiquities has conducted restoration using similar stone masonry techniques. Vast amounts of excavation rubble remain scattered across the plateau, with debris moved between locations during past dig seasons. The base of the third pyramid remains largely uncleared. Iron oxide streams visible in the bedrock indicate ancient activity, and remnants of early water pumping infrastructure from historic excavation attempts can still be seen today.
