In this photo-report we shall not touch the exterior architecture of the Bent Pyramid. Many points (which are not covered here) are covered in greater details in the research article, devoted the the Bent Pyramid, which you can find on our web-site. Here, we just mention one important detail of the Pyramid's exterior, which until recent times was hidden under a layer of sand. North-west corner of the Bent Pyramid, revealed a part of the foundation on which the north-western cornerstone was ever mounted.

  

And now - welcome up the stairs!
