Satellite Pyramid GI-d
Description: The discovery in 1991 by the archaeologist Zahi Hawass of the badly damaged Satellite Pyramid GI-d in the southeast corner of the Great Pyramid put an end to doubts about the existence of a Cult Pyramid in Khufu's famous complex. In addition to the base of the Pyramid itself and its burial chamber, which today is just a small rectangular T-shaped pit, during the excavations a pyramidion made of blocks was discovered - the capstone of the top of the supposedly same Pyramid. Since the Pyramid has no owner, today it is customary to call it Cult Pyramid, but its true purpose has not yet been clarified.Alternative names: Cult Pyramid of Khufu
