- G 8400 (also known as Lepsius 100 or the ‘Pyramid’ of Queen Khentkaus) is southwest of the Sphinx in the southern portion of the Central Field, west of the area known as the Khentkaus Town (or Khentkaus Pyramid Town), east of G 8310 (Lepsius 94), and northwest of the Menkaure Valley Temple. According to excavator Selim Hassan, the pyramid complex of Queen Khentkaus includes the ‘Pyramid’ (A-G No. 66), Solar Boat (A-G No. 67), Valley Temple (A-G No. 68), Washing-tent (A-G No. 69), House of Embalming, and libation tank. The so-called Valley Temple refers to the ante-temple area of the Menkaure Valley Temple. The associated mud-brick Khentkaus Town lies to the east. Excavated in 1932-1933 by Hassan.
