EgyptThe Pyramid of Amenemhat I is an Egyptian burial structure built at el-Lisht by the founder of the Twelfth Dynasty, who moved the capital from Thebes to nearby Itj-tawy [1] [2]. The pyramid now stands at approximately 20 m due to poor construction, quarrying, and tomb robberies [2]. Its core was made of small rough limestone blocks filled with sand, debris, and mudbrick, and notably reused blocks from earlier royal monuments [1] [2] [3].
