sahure built a pyramid complex for his tomb and funerary cult, named "khaba sahura", which is variously translated as "the rising of the ba spirit of sahure", "the ba of sahure appears", "sahure's pyramid where the royal soul rises in splendor", or "in glory comes forth the soul of sahure". the builders and artisans who worked on sahure's mortuary complex lived in an enclosed pyramid town located next to the causeway leading up to sahure's pyramid and mortuary temple. the town later flourished under nyuserre and seem to have still been in the existence during the first intermediate period.
