wives who each had a pyramid accompanied with a temple of worship. Among the many tombs that form this necropolis of the Sixth Dynasty of Egypt include: The pyramid complex of Khuit II; The pyramid complex of Iput; The pyramid complex of Sesheshet I, the king's mother; The mastaba of Tetiankhkem, royal prince, son of Teti and Khuit; The mastaba of Kagemni, Vizier of Teti; The mastaba of Ankhmahor; The mastaba of Mereruka. During the Middle Kingdom, the cult of the king was assured as evidenced by recent discoveries to the east of Teti's pyramid of the tombs of Sa-Hathor-Ipy and of Sekoueskhet (Sekweskhet). These were two priests attached to the worship of the famous pharaoh. In the New Kingdom, other graves are arranged near the funerary complex of Teti, who is sometimes referred to as a true deity. Mose, a scribe, had his decorated tomb chapel here. Under the reign of Ramses II, Khaemwaset, the royal prince and High Priest of Ptah, would even restore the pyramid of the distant ruler, taking care to re-register his name on one side of his pyramid. Finally, in the Late Period, popular enthusiasm for the gods of Saqqara increased to the point that a temple dedicated to Anubis is built on the funerary complex of Teti whose pyramid continued to dominate the entire valley and would remain a sacred monument to all the devotees who borrowed while along dromos leading to the Serapeum of Saqqara and which skirted the venerable pyramid of Teti.
