The base of the Great Pyramid is found at ground level of the Great Pyramid of Meereen.
Layout
The base is a hushed place, full of dust and shadows. Within the ground level walls, sounds echo off arches of many-colored bricks, and amongst the stables, stalls, and storerooms.[1]
Horses (including the silver mare of Daenerys Targaryen), mules and donkeys are stabled in the western walls, elephants in the eastern. Currently there are only three elephants within the pyramid.[2][3]

A Dance with Dragons
Daenerys Targaryen's wedding procession forms up inside the gates. The procession then heads to the Temple of the Graces.[2]
When conspiring to arrest Hizdahr zo Loraq, Ser Barristan Selmy and Skahaz mo Kandaq have a secret meeting by the stables. Missandei had transferred the message between them. The location had been chosen because the stables are always quiet after sunset. While there, Barristan notes to himself that the silver mare and the elephants are at their proper places.[3]
Quotes
It was always dusk inside the base of the Great Pyramid. Walls thirty feet thick muffled the tumult of the streets and kept the heat outside, so it was cool and dim within.[2]
