Currently a difficult task due to the lack of consensus in the greater community over an accurate chronology, but definitely something to keep coming back to
In the meanwhile: it’s a good policy to have a survey of dates from sources in articles about time periods; for smaller mentions (ex. at the start of “Atenism under Akhenaten” here: “Amenhotep IV, the son of Amenhotep III, was crowned king c. 1353 BC.”) circa is your best friend

First, who is "some"? Second, what exactly do these "some" base their theory on?
There are a number of good reasons why Mendelssohn's "collapse during building" theory is at least controversial in Egyptology, if not outright outdated and refuted.
The article does not cover that, and cites Mendelssohn exclusively as this would be the only and last word on what happened at Meidum. Please improve this. 31.18.115.57 (talk) 10:14, 3 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, the article on Sneferu's predecessor Huni discusses the Meidum pyramid a bit and mentions later authors' opinions that its collapse was a gradual, drawn-out process long after it had been built, rather than a catastrophic event during its construction. The account here needs to be updated. --Colin Douglas Howell (talk) 07:48, 15 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
