History
In 48 BCE, the Medjay, Bayek, travelled to the pyramid in pursue of Khaliset, a member of the Order of the Ancients, having learned about her activities in her lair. Exploring the pyramid, Bayek was able to decipher an Old Kingdom stele and discover an entrance which led to the Isu complex.[2]
