It can be entered by a a passage in the north, and a steep passage leads to corbelled chambers and the burial chamber. The entrance is long and slightly claustrophobic (I discovered that pyramid brought out a previously unknown sense of panic in closed spaces) and opened into the first chamber, then through another small tunnel and to the second chamber, which contains a tall cedar scaffold leading to the entrance of the burial chamber.
