Edfu South Pyramid

(2670-2610 BC) The Edfu South pyramid is one of seven similar small step pyramids built far from Egypt's main centers [1]. Located about five kilometres south of Edfu near Naga el-Ghoneimeya, it was first identified as a pyramid in 1979 by German archaeologists Günter Dreyer and Werner Kaiser following a tip from a local inspector [1]. Since 2010, the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago has conducted further investigations of the site [1].
