EgyptThe Meidum Pyramid seems never to have been completed [1]. By the time it was investigated by Napoleon's Expedition in 1799, the Meidum Pyramid had its present three steps [1]. The particular nature of the Meidum Pyramid building phases allows conclusions on the building process and the used ramp system [1]. The Meidum Pyramid was excavated by John Shae Perring in 1837, Lepsius in 1843 and then by Flinders Petrie later in the nineteenth century, who located the mortuary temple [1].
