The Pyramid of Pepi I (in ancient Egyptian Men-nefer-Pepi meaning Pepi's splendour is enduring) was built in the 24th or 23rdcentury BC for the Egyptian pharaoh Pepi I, the third king of the Sixth Dynasty.[6][a] It is situated in the southern archaeological complex of Saqqara, Egypt. It was excavated in the 1960s by the French Archaeological Mission of Saqqara (MafS) which, all around the main pharaoh's pyramid, discovered about ten new pyramids for the queens and family of this pharaoh.[18] Several have Pyramid Texts (Akhenespepy II, Behenou, Reherichefnakht)
