Haram el-Shawaf (Arabic: حرم الشواف) (The Sentinel), located in south Saqqara in Egypt, is a pyramid complex built by Djedkare Isesi and was originally called Beautiful is Djedkare-Isesi. The complex includes the main pyramid, a satellite pyramid and an associated pyramid which is probably that of his unnamed consort, and is hence known as The Pyramid of the Unknown Queen.[1]
