The Double Pyramid (Lepsius XXIV and XXV) at Abusir, two adjacent late Fifth-Dynasty pyramids attributed by Czech excavators to consorts of pharaoh Nyuserre and his successors, built ~2445–2421 BCE. Original base of each pyramid approximately 31 metres per side; original height around 24 metres at a steep slope. Excavated by Karl Richard Lepsius in 1842 (who catalogued them as XXIV and XXV) and re-excavated by the Czech Institute of Egyptology under Miroslav Verner from the 1990s onward. The substructures of both pyramids preserved emptied limestone burial chambers and fragmentary canopic equipment; the western pyramid (XXIV) yielded a relief fragment naming queen Reputnub, consort of Nyuserre. The two monuments were built simultaneously and share a single enclosure wall — the only documented twin-pyramid construction known from the Old Kingdom.
Two queens' pyramids built side by side in a single enclosure, in a sharing of architecture not repeated by any later Egyptian dynasty.
