The pyramid has been severely damaged over time, and little of its limestone cladding remains. It now appears as little more than a hillock of stone. None of the excavations penetrated to the burial chamber due to high water levels, but much was learned about pyramid construction from the surrounding quarries, which contained one of the highest concentrations of ancient debris of any Egyptian archaeological site.

The pyramid had undergone much disintegration and is now only 20 m-high, with most of the surrounding complex gone. None of the expeditions successfully explored the interior of the pyramid, due to the internal passageways being flooded with groundwater.
