Satellite Pyramid of Pepi I

29.8540°N, 31.2185°E.

The satellite pyramid of Pepi I at South Saqqara, immediately south of the main pyramid of pharaoh Pepi I Meryre (r. ~2321–2287 BCE). Original base 15.7 metres per side; original height around 13 metres at a steep slope. Excavated by the French mission at Saqqara under Jean-Philippe Lauer and Jean Leclant from 1966 onward. The structure follows the standard Sixth-Dynasty satellite-pyramid template: a small ritual pyramid with a granite-lined chamber and a shallow descending corridor, no human burial, no canopic equipment, and no funerary goods. Pepi I's complex is the largest single concentration of small subsidiary pyramids in any Egyptian royal cemetery — at least nine queens' pyramids plus this satellite pyramid all clustered around a single main pyramid.

A small ritual pyramid attached to the main pyramid that named the city of Memphis, in a complex with more subsidiary pyramids than any other Old Kingdom royal funerary precinct.
