Hello Anthony,

Thanks for the data.

I find it difficult to see any real differences between the two images.
I'm going to look out for photos of the remains of mortuary temples to see if they help me any.

Two things.
1) I notice that the two stelae at the Bent are undecorated.
Does this at all question that they were put in place by Sneferu?

2) The Satellite pyramid has two stelae outside it.
How does this tie in with the Bent pyramid?
