Abstract
In spring 2013 the work of the German Archaeological Institute, Cairo completed the
documentation of the architecture of the valley temple of the Bent Pyramid. The brick
building to the north of the temple was investigated. It predates the stone-temple and extended
further to the west than previously thought. Cleaning work and a magnetic survey revealed
furthermore that the building originally stood within an enclosure wall.
Magnetic measurements undertaken by T. Herbich proved the existence of intensive workmen
installations to the south of the Red Pyramid and to the north of the valley temple of the Bent
Pyramid.
