Certainly, no “road” in the modern sense has been found at the side of the Menkaure pyramid, but there are numerous “ways” or “paths” in the neighborhood of the Menkaure pyramid and there almost certainly were in antiquity as well. Moreover, the future site of Debehen’s tomb, which is located in the quarry cemetery southeast of the Second Pyramid, would have been visible from the causeway of the Third Pyramid, as Menkaure passed by to inspect the work on his pyramid.
Observing that Breasted had seen inreasted had seen in “the road beside the pyramid,” while Reisner saw it as a reference to the edge of the pyramid plateau, an interpretation which was accepted by Grdseloff, Goedicke argues that the topographical particularites rule out the former interpretation for two reasons: first no road has been found at the side of the Menkaure pyramid; second Debehen’s tomb, whose site was granted by the king during an inspection tour, is located near the causeway, but quite a dis-tance from the pyramid itself.
