These pyramids, the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid , were both constructed during the reign of King Sneferu (2613-2589 BC), the founder of the 4th Dynasty. They serve as significant examples of the architectural progress that eventually led to the construction of the Great Pyramid and its counterparts in Giza.


The Bent Pyramid *  was built by King Sneferu, the first ruler of Dynasty 4. It is known as "bent" because of its unusual shape caused by a change in angle during construction. The pyramid started at a 55-degree angle but was changed to 43 degrees because the weight of the blocks made it unstable. After this, the king's builders created another pyramid nearby, called the Red Pyramid .


The Red Pyramid   is the tallest pyramid in Dahshur.

It gets its name from the reddish color of its stones.Originally, the pyramid was a bright white made of Tura limestone, located south of present-day Cairo. All pyramids were covered with this white limestone, which was taken for other uses in medieval times.
