The Giza Pyramidion and Another Lost Pyramid

Many of you may be surprised to learn that the satellite pyramid of Khafre is not the only missing pyramid of Giza; there is another one, and it once sat within the shadow of the Great Pyramid.

The Great Pyramid of Khufu has four smaller associated pyramids, not three as you may think, and these are known as pyramids G1-a, b, c and d. The first three still remain today, are all of a similar size and are located to east of the Great Pyramid – south of the Khufu causeway.

But the superstructure of the fourth one, Pyramid G1-D has been completely dismantled, so much so that it wasn’t even discovered until as recent as 1992.

In this video we'll be discussing Pyramid G1-D and also the extremely rare find associated with it - the only pyramidion ever discovered at Giza and the second oldest ever discovered in Egypt. Watch this video to learn more.
