The Süddahschur-B-Pyramid is an ancient Egyptian pyramid that was found by a team from the German Archaeological Institute under Rainer Stadelmann in Dahschur -Süd. It is located about 300 m southeast of the bent pyramid .

Due to ceramic fragments, it can with some probability be dated to the 13th Dynasty (around 1750 BC).

exploration

Since the pyramid has not yet been excavated, neither the owner is known, nor can it be said whether the construction was ever completed. The dimensions and proportions of the structure have not yet been determined either.
