Discussion of virtual reconstruction and interpretative choices	Title Krejčí’s (2006) re-excavation of the Lepsius 25 monument showed it was actually two tombs, with walls touching each other: “the tomb superstructures had the form of two, north-south oriented, tightly attached mastabas,” with the eastern example (designated 25/1) slightly larger than the western tomb (25/2); an inscription naming these “both pyramids are vigilant” suggested to Krejčí that their original design was envisioned as two pyramids, but they were changed into mastaba constructions (2006: 268-269)Two simple mastabas forms were constructed following the sizing given by Krejčí , with the larger (25/1) reaching 6m, the smaller 5m, an estimate based on his comment that the second mastaba may have been shorter; both structures were designed with exterior wall angles of 80 degrees following Krejčí’s description (2006)
