Voids may represent later intrusive burial or hidden artifact.

Anomaly A1 is centered on the pyramid's dressed section. A trapezoid casing stone (wider base at bottom) covers it — this shape is rare at Giza. Perfectly fitted granite joints and an apparent levering point suggest deliberate concealment. This could be an intrusive burial or hidden artifact.

Key Facts

• Anomaly A1 is perfectly centered on the pyramid's dressed section - seems unlikely to be random
• Large trapezoid casing stone mostly covers anomaly A1 - extremely rare shape on pyramids
• Trapezoid with wider base at bottom is the rarest version found at Giza
• This shape would be suitable for pushing stones onto pyramid from outside after construction
• Granite joints in front of anomalies are perfectly fitted
• Apparent levering point found in block below trapezoidal stone
• Could represent disguised intrusive burial from later dynasties or something hidden during Menkaure's reign
• Later dynasties interred wooden coffin in chambers near northern entrance in Manare's honor
• If found elsewhere on pyramid, would likely be dismissed as construction gap
