Pyramid of Ity

The Pyramid of Ity was probably the tomb of Pharaoh who reigned during the 8th dynasty. It has never been discovered and is known only from a cliff-face inscription at Wadi Hammamat in the Eastern Desert, where there were several quarries in Pharaonic times. The name of the pyramid, Baw-Iti ("The Power of Ity"), may be a direct reference to the name of the Pyramid of Neferefre, Netjeri-baw-Ra-nefer-ef ("The Power of Neferefre is Divine"), from the 5th Dynasty.
