The entire complex was enclosed within a massive wall, which was more than 1 mile (1.6 km) long and originally stood 34 feet (11 meters) high. The enclosure itself measured 1,784 by 909 feet (544 by 277 meters). This expansive area contained the pyramid, a central courtyard, and various other stone edifices and "mock" buildings, which are believed to have been associated with the king's jubilee ceremonies or served as symbolic structures for his spirit.2435
