- Remarks
- Mastaba is located along south side of Khufu Pyramid, east of Mastaba IV, west of Mastaba VI and north of S 127/129. Owner is called Niankhre I by Junker, who hypothesized a larger mastaba ("Mastaba V") originally planned for this space between Mastabas IV and VI, with possibly shaft S 160 built as its main shaft.
