    EGYPT: December - 2012.
    Saqqara. The Pyramid of Pepi I.




    The pyramid of Pepi I is located in South Saqqara, in two kilometers to the south of Djoser.

    The Pyramid was first discovered in 1830 by John Perring. In 1880, the brothers Brugsch found inscriptions in the Burial Chamber.

    The Pyramid of Pepi I was the first one were the ancient inscriptions were found. This fact gave Gaston Maspero the reason to start his searches for the "Pyramid Texts" inside other pyramids of Ancient Egypt.
