Egypt(23rd c. BC) The Pyramid of Pepi II was the tomb of Pharaoh Pepi II, located in southern Saqqara, to the northwest of the Mastabat al-Fir'aun. It was the final full pyramid complex ever built in Ancient Egypt. The complex consists of the main pyramid, a Ka pyramid, three queen's pyramids, a valley temple and a mortuary temple, linked by a 400-metre-long (1,312 ft) covered causeway. Long used as a quarry, it was first excavated by Gaston Maspero in 1881, then studied in exhaustive detail by Gustave Jéquier from 1932-1935 [1].
