Ellen Lloyd – AncientPages.com – The Black Pyramid, constructed under the reign of Amenemhat III, was initially erected as a monumental edifice that bore witness to the Pharaoh’s magnificent grandeur.
Unfortunately, the pyramid, originally named Amenemhet is Mighty, has been looted and lost all its treasures. The pyramid got its name from its dark, decaying appearance as a rubble mound. When archaeologists began excavating at the site, the Black Pyramid was already in ruins.
