The pyramids are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and are visited by millions of people each year
The Great Pyramid:
The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex, and is one of the most recognizable structures in the world. It was built as a tomb for the Fourth Dynasty pharaoh Khufu, and is estimated to have taken 20 years to complete. The pyramid is made of over 2.3 million stone blocks, and originally stood at 481 feet (147 meters) tall. It remained the tallest structure in the world for over 3,800 years
Saqqara step Pyramid
The Step Pyramid of Djoser is the oldest of the Egyptian pyramids. It was built for Djoser, the second king of the Third Dynasty, around 2630 BCE. The pyramid is composed of six stacked mastabas, each one smaller than the one below it. This design is thought to have been the inspiration for the later, more famous pyramids of Giza
The Serapeum of Saqqara
The Serapeum of Saqqara is an underground complex in Egypt that was used as a burial place for sacred bulls. The bulls were worshipped as incarnations of the god Apis, and their tombs were decorated with elaborate carvings and paintings. The Serapeum was discovered in 1850 by French archaeologist Auguste Mariette, and it is now one of the most popular tourist attractions in Egypt.
The Serapeum is located in the necropolis of Saqqara, just north of Memphis. The complex consists of a series of underground chambers that are connected by a long, narrow tunnel. The chambers are lined with massive granite sarcophagi that once held the mummified bodies of the sacred bulls. The walls of the chambers are decorated with carvings and paintings that depict scenes from the bulls’ lives and the ceremonies that were held in their honor.
The Serapeum is a fascinating and well-preserved example of ancient Egyptian architecture and religion. It is a must-see for any visitor to Egypt who is interested in learning more about the country’s rich history and culture
