Pyramid G1-c is one of three queen's pyramids at Giza, located immediately east of the Great Pyramid of Giza [1]. Built during the Fourth Dynasty, it measures 46.25 m wide and stood 29.6 m tall [1]. It was originally thought to be a satellite pyramid but is now believed to be an unfinished pyramid constructed in haste [1]. The pyramid is associated with Queen Henutsen [1]. Its southern side aligns with Khufukhaf I's mastaba rather than Khufu's pyramid, indicating it was not part of his original complex [1].
