As a result of the latest study by the utilization of QuickBird image, a probable large port structure belonging to the valley temple of pyramid complex has been discovered at a highly expected nominate-point named Site No. 49 where has not been investigated for long time in the field of archaeology. The outer shape of the port structure is rectangular, and the size reaches 190m x 500m. This is a preliminary report about the discovery of Site No. 49.
