I am not sure what point you're trying to make here. The paper which I referenced earlier:
Hawass, Zahi. "The Discovery of the Satellite Pyramid of Khufu (GI-d)." In Peter Der Manuelian, ed. Studies in Honor of William Kelly Simpson 1. Boston: Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, 1996, pp. 379-398. and which can be downloaded free here: [
giza.fas.harvard.edu]
Was published amongst a collection of works, the collection being edited by Peter Der Manuelian who today specialises in the Giza Necropolis and presumably at the time of publication, given his role then, would have been well aware of the division and re-use. You can view his profile here: [
anthropology.fas.harvard.edu]
Hawass paper is therefore reviewed by Der Manuelian prior to being published. It discusses the subsidiary pyramids of the Old Kingdom on pp396-398. This includes subsidiary or satellite pyramids for predecessors to Khufu and successors to Khufu.
