The structure once rose to about 52 meters. Its base was close to 78 meters. Over the years, a lot of it wore away or was taken down. Today, it is only around 15 meters tall.
This pyramid also differs from the big Egyptian pyramids. It was not made with large blocks of stone that were cut with great accuracy. Instead, workers used mud bricks. After that, they covered the bricks with limestone.
Because of that build style, the pyramid did not last like the ones at Giza and in other places in Egypt.
