The Pyramids Of Sakkara
The Pyramids Of Sakkara Including The Step Pyramid
Sakkara (sometimes called Saqqara) is one of the most extensive archaeological sites in all of Egypt! It was the primary cemetery of the former capital of Egypt, Memphis, yet it is still one of the most unexplored archaeological sites, despite the amazing finds that have already been discovered? What else may be hidden among the site?
The site's most major feature is the Step Pyramid of King Zoser, which dates back to 2700 BC. It is one of the oldest stone structures in the world!
Sakkara is also the site of many tombs through the 1st and 2nd dynasties. Most are made out of mud bricks, but some tombs are made of limestone and decorated with daily life scenes. The ancient artwork is truly remarkable. Sakkara is divided into two parts:
-Southern Sakkara, which is dominated by the step Pyramid.
-Northern Sakkara, which is dominated by the Pyramid of King Titi, and the Mastaba tombs of the old kingdom.
When conducting a visit to Sakkara don't miss the following sites:
The Step Pyramid of King Zoser, and its surrounding complex
The Pyramid of King Titi
The tomb of Mereruka and the tomb of Kagimni
The Mastaba tomb of Ti, and the tomb of Ptah-Hotep
