The Bent Pyramid is an ancient Egyptian pyramid built under the reign of the Pharaoh Sneferu around 2600 BCE located in the Saqqara Nome. A product of early attempts by the Egyptians to perfect pyramid construction, it is so-called because of its sudden shift in degree of inclination partway up to its peak.[1]
In 48 BCE, the Medjay Bayek hunted Rudjek of the Order of the Ancients to the Bent Pyramid where he slew him and knocked his bodyguard Hypatos unconscious.[2] Sometime later, Rudjek's mistress Suphia discovered the fate of her spouse and later buried him in a sarcophagus in the pyramid.[3]
