Phespirit goes to Egypt
tour     January/February 2009

ONE PYRAMID AT SAQQARA

• Step Pyramid of Djoser, c.2667-c.2648BC

This pyramid is a first - an original template from which all other Egyptian pyramids are descended.

It is Phespirit's favourite.

TWO PYRAMIDS AT DAHSHUR

• Red Pyramid of Sneferu, c.2613-c.2589BC
• Bent Pyramid of Sneferu, c.2613-c.2589BC

In the foreground stands the shallow-sloped Red Pyramid; beyond it is the split-gradient Bent Pyramid. Phespirit went in the former; Sneferu went in neither ......

..... his remains have not been found.

THREE PYRAMIDS AT GIZA

• Great Pyramid of Khufu, c.2589-c.2566BC
• Pyramid of Khafre, c.2558-c.2532BC
• Pyramid of Menkaure, c.2532-c.2503BC

The one on the left is the last survivor of the original seven wonders of the ancient world.

It's much bigger than it looks here.
