The
Pyramids
So, you though the Pyramids were out in the
desert, far away from settlements. When driving up
to the pyramidal area you realize. Above the roofs
the two largest pyramids rise up. From some angles
you feel like they're coming down from the sky,
just about to land on the houses of Giza.
The
truth is not far from this. The residents area
ends, then there is a border of shacks, before the
bedrock carrying the pyramids rise some five
meters above everything else. |

There is one more pyramid at Abu Ruash, discovered
as late as in 1985. It appears as little more than
a knoll, and is made from mud brick. It has been
assigned to Huni (2637-2613 BCE), the last ruler
of the 3rd Dynasty, and father of Snefru, the
first ruler of the 4th Dynasty and builder of the
first true pyramids.
