The importance of the pyramid is due to the help of King Sneferu and the engineers in building the first complete pyramid in its classical form. It seems that the king did not like the pyramid because it was tilted, so he decided to build another, more accurate pyramid, which is the red pyramid, which is only 2 km away from the pyramid of Sneferu, and this is confirmed by the absence of the pyramid On the remains of the king, and the pyramid is one of the most distinguished pyramids in Egypt, unlike the first pyramid, but it is the only pyramid that has two entrances, one to the north and the other to the western side.

The Red Pyramid is the third Egyptian pyramid in terms of height after Khufu and Khafre. While at the time of its construction the Red Pyramid was the tallest building in the world, it was also the first pyramid designed to be distinctly geometric, i.e. with flat faces, the pyramid was not always red in fact, it was completely covered in white Tura limestone. During the Middle Ages, then almost all the roofs were removed and reused to build Cairo, since then, the pyramid has become reddish because by removing the roof, the sandstone below has been brought out. In 1952, the remains of a mummy were found inside.
