What travelers say:

Located in Dahshur, Egypt, built during the Pharaoh period of Egypt's Fourth Dynasty. The pyramid is called the curved pyramid, which is a very special pyramid built in the early days and the second pyramid built by Sneferu. After archaeologists speculated that it should be continued to build up at that time, it was found that the bottom layer would not be able to bear the weight of the stone above, so the position above 47 meters changed the angle, from the elevation of 54° to 43°, to reduce the weight of the bottom stone. So the whole pyramid is curved. Archaeologists believe this curved pyramid is a transition period from the first-generation ladder pyramid to the third-generation red pyramid.
