White Pyramid

Located in the pyramid field at Dahshur, the White Pyramid of Amenemhat II is now nothing more than a pile of rubble, having been heavily quarried for stone. The remaining limestone rubble has given rise to its modern name. In 1894 and 1895 Jaques de Morgan dug in the pyramid complex, concentrating on the surrounding royal graves, with other areas not being explored, a full scale investigation of the whole complex has yet to be undertaken.
