Black Pyramid of Amenemhat III

Aerial view of the pyramid of Amenemhat III at Dashur.  Called the Black Pyramid because of its dark color, it was built in the Middle Kingdom, and the interior contains a complex system of tunnels and chambers.  Due to the removal of the outer limestone casing, the pyramid has fallen into ruin.
