The Rhind Papyrus is considered contemporaneous with the Hyksos domination (it's dated to the Hyksos king Apophis) about a thousand years after the Pyramid Age. While the document contains math problems involving pyramid geometry, it doesn't refer to any man-made pyramid. The math examples of pyramid geometry include pyramids with heights of 13.76', 160', and 430', none of which fit any known pyramid, afaik.

The Moscow papyrus is consider older than Rhind and contains one example for calculating the volume of a severely truncated pyramid. No absolute dimensions are given, only relative dimensions are in generic "units", and there is no reference to any man-made pyramid.
