The Pyramid of Khentkaus II is a Fifth Dynasty (c. 25th-24th century BC) queen's pyramid located in the Abusir necropolis, Egypt [1]. It is attributed to Khentkaus II, a queen consort who may have ruled Egypt as a reigning queen following the death of her husband, Neferirkare Kakai [1]. Today, the structure survives as a heavily damaged ruin standing approximately 4 metres (13 ft) high [1].
