Pyramid G2-a is the name of the satellite pyramid of Khafre. The structure was located on the south side of the main pyramid, along its centerline, and likely housed a statue dedicated to the king's ka. The structure contains two descending passages: The first opened on the north side of the pyramid and terminated in a small chamber. The second passage, discovered in 1960 by Abdel Hafez Abd el-'Al, is located four meters to the west of the ruin, ending in a dead end with a niche which contained pieces of ritualistic furniture.
The pyramid was likely dismantled by the Emir Karakoush of the Ayyubid Sultanate (serving in the 12th century under Saladin), who used the structure's stone for other construction projects. After centuries of exposure to the elements and further stone robbing, almost nothing remains of G2-a other than some core blocks and the outline of the foundation.
