Summary/Abstract: The Polish excavation in Saqqara abuts the western side of the enclosure wall surrounding the funerary complex of the pharaoh Netjerykhet. A section of this wall and its foundation was uncovered and documented in 2001. In 2007, a larger section of the wall was documented. This wall is part of a monumental stone structure referred to in topic literature as the Western Massif, which is integrally connected with the Step Pyramid.
