Mazghuna

Mazghuna, located approximately 5 kilometers south of Dahshur, is an archaeological site of significant importance due to its association with the 12th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt. It features two notable unfinished mudbrick pyramids, which are believed to have been intended for Amenemhat IV and Sobekneferu, although no conclusive evidence supports their ownership. The Southern Pyramid, positioned about 3 miles from Sneferu's Bent Pyramid, includes an unfinished base measuring 52.5 meters square and houses an inner monolithic burial vault crafted from quartzite. The Northern Pyramid, larger in planned scope, also features an elaborate burial vault with a U-shaped passageway. Both structures are notable for their sophisticated design and construction methods of the period, despite remaining incomplete. Their unfinished state provides insights into the architectural endeavors and burial practices of the Middle Bronze Age in Egypt.
