In front of the pyramid stood a chapel, the decoration of which was removed from one wall by Karl Richard Lepsius and brought to the Egyptian Museum in Berlin . Six blocks on the opposite wall are now in the British Museum in London . The remains of three skeletons were found in the underground part of the facility. Two of them belong to women, the third to a man of about thirty. The mortal remains of the king are believed to be in him. Amanitenmomide had a throne name written in Egyptian hieroglyphics and based on the Egyptian model : Nebmaatre.
