Pyramid of Unas, Saqqara
The pyramid had a base length of 57.75 m converging towards the apex at an angle of approximately 56 degrees, giving it a height of 43 m on completion. The pyramid has since been ruined, as have all others of the Fifth Dynasty, a result of its poor construction and materials. The pyramids of the Fifth Dynasty were further systematically dismantled during the New Kingdom to be reused in the construction of new tombs.
