EGYPT: December - 2012. Saqqara. The Pyramid of Userkaf.
The Pyramid Userkaf, is officially dated as the first Pyramid of the V Dynasty. It is located in Saqqara, north-east of the Pyramid of Djoser. First it was described in 1839 by John Perring.
The whole Userkaf complex consists of three Pyramids: the Pyramid Userkaf, Satellite Pyramid and the Pyramid of Neferheteps. Last one is destroyed, and we can see only a couple of ceiling megalithic blocks of the "burial chamber".
EGYPT: December - 2012. Saqqara. The Pyramid of Teti.
The Pyramid of Teti (the first pharaoh
of VI Dynasty of the Old Kingdom) is located in the north-east of the
Pyramid of Djoser.
This is the second Pyramid in Egypt (after the Pyramid of
Unas), which has texts in its main Burial Chamber. Excavations here have
revealed the Satellite Pyramid, the Pyramid Temple and two Pyramids of
the Queens.
The exterior part of the Pyramid is badly damaged and looks
like a small hill. The interior part is in good condition.
EGYPT: December - 2012. Saqqara. Headless Pyramid.
The Headless Pyramid was discovered in
1842 by the German archaeologist Karl Lepsius, during his excavations at
Saqqara. This Pyramid was called as the "Headless Pyramid" because of
the the absence of its exterior.
Time passed and the Pyramid gradually sank under the desert
sands. The attempts of archaeologists to find it once again - appeared
in vain. Luck faced only to the archeology team of Dr. Zahi Hawass in
2008. A year and a half was spent on removing a seven-meter layer of
sand, until the Pyramid was found again, 166 years later after Karl
Lepsius' discovery.
EGYPT: December - 2012. Dahshur. Mastabas of Old Kingdom.
The complex of Mastabas, officially
dated by the Old Kingdom, is located in a kilometer to the south-west of
the Red Pyramid and the same distance to the north-west of the Bent
Pyramid. What are they built from? And what for?
