The main pyramid was built from roughly hewn limestone blocks, bound with mud mortar, and encased with fine white Tura limestone. It had a base long, converging at 50° 11′ 40″ towards the apex, high. Notably, the architects made an error in demarcating the pyramid base, extending the pyramid too far east. The pyramid's internal chambers were devastated by stone thieves, which has rendered an accurate reconstruction impossible. Stone fragments believed to belong to the king's basalt sarcophagus are the only remains of the burial that have been found. The mortuary temple adjacent the pyramid's east face contains an entrance hall, an open courtyard, a five niche statue chapel, an offering hall, and storerooms. These had appeared in mortuary temples since the reign of Khafre. South of the temple is the enclosure with the cult pyramid, employing the same construction method used in the main pyramid but on a reduced scale, with a base length of converging at 56° to a peak high. The complex's two temples are linked by a long intricately decorated and well-illuminated causeway. The valley temple is situated on Abusir lake, which is unusual for having two entrances: the main on its east side, and a secondary one on its south. It remains unclear why a second entry point was built, though it may have been connected to a pyramid town to its south.
