Summary
The entrance to the Amenemhet III pyramid at Hawara. It was built by Amenemhet III in the 12th dynasty. It was the last of the Great Pyramids to be built. The limestone blocks strewn around the base were once part of the external veneer that has fallen away. The inner mud brick core is exposed and the entrance to the pyramid can be seen. Considerable erosion can also be seen. The top soil that was used to make the bricks has silted out causing the external veneer to fall down.
