Abu Bakr Cemetery: Site: Giza; View: Mastaba X (ABC); Mastaba Y
Large anonymous mud-brick mastaba located just west of Lepsius 20-21 in the central sector of the Abu Bakr Cemetery. Archaeological evidence suggests a probable early Fourth Dynasty date for Mastaba Y.

- Remarks
- Although the orientations of the two mastabas are aligned, Mastaba Y seems to have been in place before Lepsius 20-21 was erected. As Lepsius 19, Mastaba X, and Lepsius 20-21 were probably roughly contemporaneous, this means Mastaba Y antedates the "Persen Complex."
