 The burial chamber comprised from a single colossal block of quartzite similar to that of Amenemhat III, with receptacles for the sarcophagus and the canopic jars hewn out of the interior of the block.The earliest known historical mention of the Pyramid of Ameny Qemau is found in the book of the medieval Arab historian Taqi al-Din Ahmad Al-Maqrizi ""Geography and History of Egypt"" where Al-Maqrizi describes the "pyramids of Dashur".The pyramid of Ameny Qemau was rediscovered in 1957 by a team led by Charles Arthur Musès.
