Now it is time to visit the first pyramid ever built (Djoser Pyramid) or as we called the step pyramid by driving to the Sakkara area.

Witness: Saqqara (Step Pyramid)
Covering a 7km stretch of the Western Desert, Saqqara, the huge cemetery of ancient Memphis, was an active burial ground for more than 3500 years and is Egypt’s largest archaeological site. The necropolis is situated high above the Nile Valley’s cultivation area, and is the final resting place for deceased pharaohs and their families, administrators, generals and sacred animals. The name Saqqara is most likely derived from Sokar, the Memphite god of the dead.

Titi pyramid
It is entered through a descending corridor that leads to a horizontal corridor, leading to a front room. There are three chambers for storing burial tools on the left, and on the right, on the western side, is the burial chamber whose ceiling is decorated with golden stars on a dark blue background, which reflects the ancient Egyptian idea of the tomb as a microcosm of the universe.

Kagmni Tomb
The Kagmeni Tomb is located east of the Mery Roka cemetery and adjacent to it, and its door opens towards the east. The mastaba consists of seven rooms, most of which are rectangular in shape, all of which are engraved in relief, some of which have excellent views. The first room contains murals, which is a boat made of bundles of papyrus, in which Kamanji stands. The second room contains scenes representing fishing, and below these scenes are inscriptions representing types of fish.

Then to move to visit Dahshur
Dahshur is located in the southern part of Memphis which was the capital of ancient Egypt.
King Senefru chose his Dahshur plateau to build his first pyramid to rival Djoser’s pyramid, but he was unable to complete it and it became the first half-broken pyramid.

-Also found in this area (The Red Pyramid and The Bent Pyramid)

-The Bent Pyramid of Dahshur
Sneferu ed clearly indicates a transition from the traditional “step” pyramid design, and is considered to be the first pyramid to feature smooth sides.
the Bent Pyramid was built during the reign of the Pharaoh. Some believe the angled sides were part of the original design, while many historians and archaeologists believe the builders of this pyramid realized they were working at too steep an incline and switched quickly to a gentler slope for the rest of the building.

-The Red Pyramid of Dahshur
The Red Pyramid was the first “true” smooth-sided pyramid ever built. Like the Bent Pyramid, the Red Pyramid was also built during the reign of Pharaoh Sneferu. Many historians believe that Pharaoh Sneferu had the pyramid built as his tomb.
