As you can tell by the sign, I wasn't allowed to go near where they were working. The pyramid on the right is the one they are working on. There are three small queens pyramids in a line here, just like at Khufu's pyramid.
The interior of this pyramid is pretty much the same as the others. What I did find very interesting though, was that archeologists were working on one of the queen's pyramids beside it. What is really cool, is that about a month or so after I got home, Fox Television in the U.S. aired a special on the opening of this pyramid. It featured the famous Egyptian archeologist and director of the pyramids, Zahi Hawass. It was pretty neat watching them discovering things inside this pyramid live on television, when I walked through that area about a month before they did this. It was a great show, but it was very staged, they didn't really discover some of the things live on television. They found them previously to that night and then pretended to discover them on TV. Typical of American telivision. It's too bad 99% of the people that watched it were fooled into believing that.

This is the miniature railway they had set up with a wheelbarrow-like rail car they used to transport the debris from inside the pyramid and then dump it a few hundred meters away.
