Hem-Iunu supervised thousands of workers, and drew up construction plans that ensured the pyramid was built with amazing engineering precision.

the pyramid includes several internal corridors and rooms such as the King's Chamber and the Queen's Chamber, which were designed in an amazing engineering manner.
