===Internal structures=== On the north side of the edifice, Jéquier found an {{convert|8|m|ft|abbr=on}} long limestone-clad corridor leading down with an inclination of 25° to a large granite portcullis.<ref name="encyclo"/><ref name="ReferenceA">[[Gustave Jéquier]], ''La pyramide d'Aba'', 1935</ref> Behind this portcullis lay the king's burial chamber. Both the corridor and the walls of the burial chamber were inscribed with the last known instance of the [[Pyramid Texts]].<ref name="encyclo"/><ref name="ReferenceA"/> The texts seem to have been directly inscribed for Ibi rather than appropriated by him, although the possibility of the texts being rescribed can not be ruled out. Jéquier judged the quality of the inscriptions as "very average".<ref name="ReferenceA"/> Furthermore, the placement of the [[spell (paranormal)|spells]] appears relatively indiscriminate.<ref name="Stadelmann-Ibi"/> The burial chamber's ceiling was flat and decorated with stars. It was probably made of a single {{convert|5|m|ft|abbr=on}} long block of [[Tura, Egypt|Tura]] limestone<ref name="ReferenceA"/> now missing. Today a large block of concrete protects the chamber. On the west side of the burial chamber is a [[false door]] and a huge granite block on which once stood the [[sarcophagus]] of the king. On the east side there is a [[serdab]] for the statue of the [[Ancient Egyptian conception of the soul|Ka of the deceased]].
