Pyramids of Egypt
When one thinks of Egypt it is hard to do so without seeing the pyramids of Giza in
the mind's eye. These piles of limestone or mud brick are the oldest known manmade
structures on our planet and have actually survived longer in the period known as BCE
(before the common era) than they have in CE (the common era). Since the dawn of
recorded history they have been an enigma, and this continues through to the present
day, with more books and papers being written about them than any of the other
ancient monuments in Egypt. Library shelves, throughout the world, are full of the
various theories about how they were built, why they were built, and why they are
located in certain places; and the full gambit of writing is used in these theories; from
the well researched and referenced volumes, to the ones which, quite frankly, deserve
to be in either the science-fiction sections or the children's ones.

3. INPTyEramid of Sakkara
Saqqara is one of the most extensive archaeological sites in Egypt! It was the cemetery
for Memphis, the capital of Ancient Egypt, yet it is still one of the virgin archaeological
sites, despite the fact that so much has already been found here!

4. INPTyEramids of Giza
Among the major tourist sites, there is only one considered to be “The major” and on
top of any list - are the Pyramids of Giza. There are three main Pyramids here, which
were built in the 4th Dynasty (circa 2550 B.C). The Pyramids of Ancient Egypt were
built as tombs for Kings (and Queens), and it was the exclusive privilege to have a
Pyramid tomb. However, this tradition only applied in the Old and Middle Kingdoms.
Today there are more than 93 Pyramids in Egypt; the most famous ones are those at
Giza.

5. INPTyEramid of Meidum
Meidum Pyramid is located 65 Km to the south of Sakkara. To visit to it you simply
drive along the road that takes you to Sakkara, go pass that site, and continue straight on
for about an hour until you see the Pyramid. There is another way to reach Meidum that
is a little longer, but a lot faster. You take the road to the Fayoum Oasis and then join the
Assyut desert road. After about 77Km you will see the Pyramid on your left side. There
is an admission fee of 25 LE.

6. INPyTrEamid of Dahshour
The Pyramids of Dahshour always evoke in us a great part of the history of Ancient
Egypt. Although this area is not a major tourist site, like the Giza Plateau, it seems to me
like a wonderful book, which tells us great, glorious, events of Ancient Egyptian
History. Dahshour is one of the most important cemeteries, which belonged to the vast
necropolis of the great Ancient Egyptian capital of Memphis.

11. INPyTrEamid of Lahoun
The site of El - Lahoun is the southernmost pyramid structure in Egypt. Its builders
reduced the amount of work necessary to construct it by ingeniously using as its
foundation and core a 12 meter high natural limestone hill. The pyramid core is
composed of cross walls of limestone over knoll of rock (3 courses are seen to the left,
the lower 2 are covered with the lower 2 are covered with hornet mud nests). Binding
the bricks together are small amounts of mortar and a filling of sand.
