On the sarcophagus and false door of Queen Ankhesenpepi IV, the name of a pyramid is mentioned.[1] The name is "Enduring Life of Neferkare." How far construction of this pyramid progressed is unclear. It is possible that its remains are only a few metres from the pyramid of Pepi II, where Gustave Jéquier found the false door of Ankhenespepi IV's tomb.
