"Bent Pyramid is not part of the Pyramids of Giza complex. The Bent Pyramid is located near the ancient city of Memphis, in the necropolis of Dahshur, approximately 40 kilometers south of Cairo. It was built during the Old Kingdom period of ancient Egypt, around 2600 BCE, during the reign of Pharaoh Sneferu, Khufu's father. The pyramid is called "bent" due to the change in angle of its outer casing, giving it a distinctive shape. While it is not part of the Pyramids of Giza complex, it is still a significant ancient Egyptian pyramid and is open to visitors for exploration."
