The pyramid of Ameny Qemau is an ancient Egyptian pyramid located in southern Dahshur [1]. It was constructed for Ameny Qemau, an obscure king of the 13th Dynasty during the Second Intermediate Period [1]. The pyramid originally stood 35 metres high with a base length of 52 metres [1]. The stone constituting its upper structure has been entirely robbed but the damaged substructures remain [1]. The pyramid of Ameny Qemau was rediscovered in 1957 by a team led by Charles Arthur Musès [1]. In 1968, Vito Maragioglio and Celeste Rinaldi investigated the architecture of the pyramid [1]. More recently, the remains of the funerary equipment of the king were published by Nabil Swelim and Aidan Dodson [1].
