Pyramid G2-a
Pyramid G2-a is the name of the satellite pyramid of Khafre located in the Giza pyramid complex. The structure was built south of the main pyramid along its centerline, and likely contained a statue dedicated to the king's ka. The structure contains two descending passages: The first opened on the north side of the pyramid and terminated in a small chamber. The second passage, discovered in 1960 by Abdel Hafez Abd el-'Al, is located four meters to the west of the ruin, ending in a niche that contained pieces of ritualistic furniture.
