Moreover, the Mortuary Temple was not completed before the death of the King but his son, Shepseskaf, decided to complete its construction and succeeded in completing it. There is also a funeral temple on the side of the still existing Mycerinus pyramid, the walls were supposed to be covered with granite that was brought from Aswan but after the death of the King it was completed with Tura limestone.

The height of the Mycerinus pyramid is about 61 meters, it is not like other pyramids in its decoration and design, so it does not have as many drawings and details as it does, and the Mycerinus pyramid with a well-prepared rock surface had to be built around the northeast corner. This pedestal was two and a half meters higher than his father's pyramid, occupying a quarter of the area consumed by Cheops and Khafra. The heart of this pyramid of limestone blocks has a casing made of pink granite transported from Aswan, as this casing was made of Tura limestone and may have damaged during transportation.
