The Bent Pyramid owes its modern-day name to the fact that the upper half of this pyramid was built at a lower angle than the bottom part, giving it a very characteristic bend. The Ancient Egyptian name for this pyramid was ‘The Southern Shining One’, a reference to the fact that it was built at the southern edge of Dashur.
