Bent Pyramid Landsape
Commissioned by the Pharaoh Sneferu, the bent pyramid was an example of the earlier attempts to build a freestanding pyramid.
After attempting to complete the pyramid at 54 degrees from the base, the builders had to correct the shape to 43 degrees to top off the pyramid.
This pyramid was largely regarded as a failure and Sneferu ended up commissioning the Red Pyramid shortly after.
