	Sneferu's Pyramid
		King Sneferu was the founder of a new royal dynasty, and his right to the throne was accentuated throughout his marriage to a royal heiress "The famous queen Hetepheres".
		Sneferu's predecessor was considered to be king Huni, yet, all what was certainly known was that Sneferu followed Huni to the throne, and he may have been related to the previous royal house.
		An aperture was found approximately on the middle northern face in order to give access to a narrow low-roofed corridor, which descended at a steep gradient, firstly through the core of the pyramid and then through the subterranean rock.

	Dahshur and Meidum Pyramids
		The principal building projects of Pharaoh Sneferu were located at Meidum (20 miles / 30 km south of modern Cairo) and Dahshur (12 miles / 20 km south of Cairo).
		The Red Pyramid is the third largest Pyramid of Egypt, surpassed only by those built by Sneferu's son and grandson, Cheops and Chephren.
		Geologist Robert M. Schoch has examined the central chamber of the Red Pyramid and concluded that it shows considerable weathering, unlike the remainder of the interior, as if it is a much earlier structure that was enclosed by the building of the Pyramid.
