| burial = Pyramid of Ibi {{coord|29|50|30|N|31|13|4|E|type:landmark_region:EG_dim:45}}
Ibi's pyramid is the last ever built in Saqqara, located to the northeast of [[Shepseskaf]]'s tomb and near the causeway of the pyramid of [[Pepi II]].<ref>[http://www.ancient-egypt.org/topography/saqqara/ibi/index.html "Saqqara, City of the Dead: The Pyramid of Ibi" ''The Ancient Egypt Site''] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927004426/http://www.ancient-egypt.org/topography/saqqara/ibi/index.html |date=September 27, 2007 }}</ref> It is very similar in plan, dimensions and decorations to the pyramids of the queens of [[Pepi II]], the last great pharaoh of the Old Kingdom. Consequently it was proposed that the pyramid was originally that of Ankhnespepi IV (''ˁnḫ-n=s ppj'', "Pepi lives for her") a wife of Pepi II, and was only later appropriated by Ibi.<ref name="Stadelmann-Ibi">Rainer Stadelmann:'' The Egyptian pyramids. From brick to the wonders of the world.'' 3rd edition of Saverne, Mainz, 1997, {{ISBN|3-8053-1142-7}}, pp. 203-204.</ref> Adjacent to the pyramid is a small chapel where the funerary cult took place. No trace of a causeway nor of a valley temple has been found to this day, and it is likely that there never was any.

=== The pyramid ===
Ibi's pyramid is not oriented to any cardinal point, being rather on a northwest–southeast axis. The edifice would have been around {{convert|31.5|m|ft|abbr=on}} large and {{convert|21|m|ft|abbr=on}} high with a slope of 53°7′ at the time of its construction.<ref name="encyclo"/> The core of the pyramid was built with [[limestone]] blocks of local origin, most of which are now gone, probably reused in later constructions. As a result, the monument appears today as a {{convert|3|m|ft|abbr=on}} high heap of mud and limestone chips in the sands of Saqqara. On some of the remaining blocks, inscriptions in red ink were found mentioning a ''chief of the Libyans'', the meaning of which is unclear. It seems that even though the foundations for the outer casing of the pyramid were laid, the casing itself was never mounted.
===Internal structures===
On the north side of the edifice, Jéquier found a {{convert|8|m|ft|abbr=on}} long limestone-clad corridor leading down with an inclination of 25° to a large granite portcullis.<ref name="encyclo"/><ref name="ReferenceA">[[Gustave Jéquier]], ''La pyramide d'Aba'', 1935</ref> Behind this portcullis lay the king's burial chamber. Both the corridor and the walls of the burial chamber were inscribed with the last known instance of the [[Pyramid Texts]].<ref name="encyclo"/><ref name="ReferenceA"/> The texts seem to have been directly inscribed for Ibi rather than appropriated by him. Jéquier judged the quality of the inscriptions as "very average".<ref name="ReferenceA"/> Furthermore, the placement of the [[utterance]]s appears relatively indiscriminate.<ref name="Stadelmann-Ibi"/> The burial chamber's ceiling was flat and decorated with stars. It was probably made of a single {{convert|5|m|ft|abbr=on}} long block of [[Tura, Egypt|Tura]] limestone<ref name="ReferenceA"/> now missing. Today a large block of concrete protects the chamber.
On the west side of the burial chamber is a [[false door]] and a huge granite block on which once stood the [[sarcophagus]] of the king. On the east side there is a [[serdab]] for the statue of the Ka of the deceased.
===Chapel===
Adjacent to the east side of the pyramid is a small mudbrick chapel which served as temple for the cult of the dead king.<ref name="encyclo"/> The entrance of the chapel is located on its north side. Inside the temple, immediately against the pyramid wall is an offering hall where Jequier found a stone washbasin as well as stele or a [[false door]] of which only the foundations remain. An [[alabaster]] tray and obsidian mortar tools were also discovered there.
The south part of the chapel is occupied by magazine rooms.
