Harkhuf [fl. 23rd century B.C.E.] was known for preparing the way for ancient Egyptian expansion into Nubia. Most of Nubia nowadays is located within the modern Republic of the Sudan. Harkhuf facilitated ancient Egypt's expansion by seeking out trading opportunities, networking with local leaders, and leading expeditions. He was able to do so through his official position as governor and caravan overseer in Upper Egypt.
Harkhuf was an important enough figure to have had a tomb built at Qubbet el-Haw, on the west bank of the Nile. It still is standing at Aswan, near the First Cataract.

Which part of the regular pyramid formula is for the pyramids lateral area?
The answer to this question depends on what sort of pyramid it is, and that depends on the shape of the base. You can get triangular pyramids (with a triangular base), square pyramids (like those in Egypt), pentagonal pyramids and so on.
Let me take just one -- the square pyramid. Let the length of the base sides be 'a' units. Let 'h' units be the perpendicular height (i.e. at right angles to the base and going through the peak of the pyramid) of each side.
I gather by lateral area that you mean surface area including the base.
I use the symbol * to mean x or multiply.
Then the formula for working out the surface area is a*a for the base PLUS each triangular face is 1/2*a*h
There are 4 triangular sides so the surface area is
(a*a) + 4*(1/2*a*h)
If you just want the 4 sides, leave out a*a.
