CHAPTER V
184/189

The step form is the result of carrying upwards the mastaba form, at the same time that it was enlarged outwards.
(33) Not in all cases apparently, for the hieroglyphs on the passage of Pepi's pyramid are not injured, as they would be if plugs had been withdrawn.
(34) Pepi's roof is formed by a row of large beams which rested independently on the side walls as corbels or cantilevers (see Note 29).
(35) The mastaba angle is 75 deg., and the pyramid angle 50 deg.

to 55 deg..
(36) Its present appearance is an accident of its demolition; it was originally, like the "step-pyramid" of Sakkarah, a cumulative mastaba, as is shown by the remains of the lower steps still in the mounds at its base, and by the mediaeval description of it.
