But pyramid
There are different hypotheses on the aim of the pyramid, according to archaeologists, it could be a surveillance tower aimed at protecting a large trade route, a monumental tomb or even a ceremonial building.

Although they are still studying, their content could shed light on budgetary practices or commercial transactions. Documents of this type rarely survive outside Egypt, and His conclusion in the Judea desert is a real rarity.
