We are Entering the Pyramid of Sakkara (or Saqqara). There are 15 "Apparent" Entrances but this is the Only Real One
Here we are Being Marshalled into the Entrance. The Lady with the Brown Head Covering is also the one with the Niqāb. Note her husband, in Front of her in Blue Shirt, is in Regular Street Clothes - He Rules!!
This is a View of the Double Columned Entry into the Pyramid Complex
Nancy in the Columned Entry Way
We were Told the Columns were Designed to Appear as Natural Trees. However, they looked like Fluted Columns to us
Here is the Step Pyramid of the Sakkara Complex. It is the Oldest Pyramid to be Known in Existence
This is a View of a Mastaba in the Complex. Some of the Ruins also are Associated with Temples
There were Two Very Deep Holes Just Past the Entry Way. They don't Know Why they Exist
This Hole was Bottomless. They Conjectured that the Organs were Always Removed and Buried Separately. This is Where they may have Buried them
Some of the Ruins Outside the Pyramid Complex. Some are Mastabas and Others are Parts of Temples
Closer View of Some of the External Ruins. You can See more Pyramids on the Right and way in the Background
This is Looking Back at the Columned Entrance to the Complex. Again, Another People Jam
Pyramids Surrounding the Pyramid Complex of Sakkara
Pyramids and Mastabas Outside of Pyramid Complex of Sakkara. The Furthest Pyramid, with the Angle Change in Construction is known as the "Bent Pyramid"
