In the latest post Dr. Zahi Hawass made on his blog he says "King Sneferu of the Fourth Dynasty built three monumental pyramids during his lifetime, and a fourth smaller step pyramid at Seila in the Faiyum."
I have never heard anyone else attribute the pyramid Seila to Snefru. I have seen it attributed to Huni, but not Snefru. Something feels wrong here. How could one Pharaoh build four pyramids?
I have found a few links that seem worth looking at. Ths are not "scholarly" sites, but they are definately worth a look:
1) Tour Egypt
2) A short biopgraphy of Huni
3) Some photos of Seila
