Zahi Hawass since 1995 have led to the certainly that this was a
pyramid of queen khuit.

Teti's pyramid complex is surrounded by mastaba tombs of
the officials of his reign, including the largest of the Saqqara
tombs belonging to the vizier Mereruka, who was married to the
king's eldest daughter. Mereruka was later to become the high
priest of Teti's funerary cult. His causeway and valley temple
have not yet been properly excavated.
