The Bent Pyramid (ancient name: Sneferu Shining in the South) is an ancient Egyptian pyramid built under the reign of the Fourth Dynasty Pharaoh Sneferu around 2600 BCE, and is located in the Saqqara Nome.
A product of early attempts by the Egyptians to perfect pyramid construction, the awkward looking monument is so-called because of its sudden shift in degree of inclination from 54 degrees to 43 degrees partway up to its peak.[1]
In 48 BCE, some two and a half thousand years after the pyramid's construction, 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]
