Lonely Planet review for Pyramid of Pepi II
The 2278-2184 BC Pyramid of Pepi II once interred the remains of Pepi II, whose 94-year reign at the end of the 6th dynasty may have been the longest in Egyptian history. Despite his longevity, Pepi II's 52m-high pyramid was of the same modest proportions as those of his predecessor, Pepi I. Although the exterior is little more than a mound of rubble, the interior is decorated with more passages from the Pyramid Texts.
