@AHC_Channel @stijnvdhoven Hey.. Regarding the rock-cut mastabas next to Khentkawas, there are detailed descriptions by Selim Hassan, Excavations At Giza, Vol. III, 1931-1932. Screenshots in this thread if of interest.

Starting with Mastaba I.

Mastaba of Shaft 648.

Then we have the Mastaba of Bw-Nefer, a wife of Shepseskaf, in the eastern part of GCF1.

More on tomb of Bw-Nefer...

Some pics from inside.

Mastaba of Se-Ankhw in GCF1.

A bit more from the tomb of Se-Ankhw.

And a few more pictures from The Mastaba of Bw-Nefer.

Hassan's book is probably online. Just found the PDF on my computer. I'll look for a link asap. There is a lot more detail, especially on the Mastaba of Bw-Nefer.

Last but not least, Mastaba H.

Pics from Mastaba H.
