Historic site in The Pyramids of Giza

The Headless Pyramid, otherwise identified as Lepsius XXIX or Steinpyramide XXIX, is the remain of a pyramid complex built in Saqqara. The identity of the pyramid owner is unclear, though it is suspected to belong to either pharaoh Menkauhor of the Fifth Dynasty or pharaoh Merikare of the Tenth Dynasty, both of whom are known to have built a pyramid. If associated with Menkauhor, the pyramid's name is either Nṯr-ỉswt Mn-kꜣw-ḥr meaning 'Divine are the places of Menkauhor' or Nṯr-ỉswt Ỉkꜣw-Ḥr meaning 'Divine are the places of Ikauhor' referencing Menkauhor's birthname; if associated with Merikare, the pyramid's name is Wꜣḏ-swt Mry-kꜣ-rꜥ meaning 'Fresh are the places of Merikare'.
