#Abu Rawash

[ancientorigins]

For decades archaeologists have been searching for Egypt’s fabled lost 4th pyramid. Could Abu Rawash, a site a stone’s throw from Giza, hold the answer?

Egypt inaugurates its first trigeneration waste-to-energy plant

Egypt inaugurates its first trigeneration waste-to-energy plant

Egypt brings online its first trigeneration waste-to-energy facility: Egypt-based energy industry contractor Korra Energi inaugurated a waste-to-energy plant to repurpose the waste generated by Korra’s power plant and its flare gas projects in the Abu Rawash industrial complex to generate power, according to a statement release last week. The financials of the trigeneration project were not…

The Pyramid of Djedefre consists today mostly of ruins located at Abu Rawash in Egypt. It is Egypt's northernmost pyramid and is believed to have been built by Djedefre, son and successor to king Khufu. Having only reigned 10-15 years, Djedefre was succeeded by his brother Khafre who built the middle pyramid at Giza. Although much smaller than his father’s pyramid, Djedefre built his superstructure on a large hill, thereby surpassing the height of the Great Pyramid.

Though some Egyptologists in the last few decades have suggested otherwise, recent excavations at Abu Rawash carried out by Dr. Michael Baud of the Louvre Museum in Paris suggest the pyramid was in fact never finished.  If completed, however, it is suggested to have been about the same size as the Pyramid of Menkaure; the third largest of the Giza pyramids.

It is believed to have originally been the most beautiful of the pyramids, with an exterior of polished, imported granite, limestone and crowned with a large pyramidion. It is also believed for this reason the completed pyramid was largely deconstructed by the Roman Empire to build their own construction projects after the conquest of Egypt under Roman Emperor Augustus.

The pyramid's ancient name was "Djedefre's Starry Sky". Miroslav Verner wrote in 'The Pyramids'; "The destruction started at the end of the New Kingdom at the latest, and was particularly intense during the Roman and early Christian eras when a Coptic monastery was built in nearby Wadi Karin. It has been proven, moreover, that at the end of the nineteenth century, stone was still being hauled away at the rate of three hundred camel loads a day."

Djedefre's pyramid was architecturally different from those of his immediate predecessors in that the chambers were beneath the pyramid instead of inside. The pyramid was built over a natural mound and the chambers were created using the "pit and ramp" method, previously used on some mastaba tombs. Djedefre dug a pit 21m x 9m and 20m deep in the natural mound. A ramp was created at an angle of 22º35' and the chambers and access passage were built within the pit and on the ramp. Once the 'inner chambers' were finished, the pit and ramp were filled in and the pyramid built over the top. This allowed the chambers to be made without tunneling, and avoided the structural complications of making chambers within the body of the pyramid itself. He also reverted to an earlier style of construction by creating a rectangular enclosure wall oriented north-south, similar to those of Djoser and Sekhemkhet. [X]

Finishing the map, georeferencing the pyramid of Djedefre

Finishing the map, georeferencing the pyramid of Djedefre and wrestling with inaccuracies, residuals and RMSE.

In a previous post I described how I georeferenced a difficult map of Abu Rawash. During that process I had to ignore the pyramid of Djedefre because it was drawn at a different scale to the rest of the map. Here and in this video I discuss how I subsequently georeferenced the pyramid of Djedefre at the correct scale. The map of the pyramid of Djedefre was cropped from map I in Porter and Moss’…

Thrilled to have won an award in the Abu Rawash 3rd International Watercolor Contest and get published in the amazing Selected Artist book with so many other talented artists! I was a little late in getting my copy of the book (due to shipping issues from Covid, totally understandable) and was so excited to finally receive it in the mail!

The Ivory King. Den (First Dynasty) is the first king known to have held the title “King of Upper and Lower Egypt”, which would become an important part of the royal titulary. He may also be the first king to have been represented wearing the Double Crown, a combination of the White and the Red Crowns, which, by this time, had probably come to symbolise Upper and Lower Egypt respectively, as may be shown by some labels dated to the reign of Horus Djet where the snake of the Lower Egyptian goddess Uto was replaced by the Red Crown. The combination of both crowns into one, as well as the introduction of the new title, points to Den’s reign as having the last step in the evolution of the definition of Egypt as the unity between two countries, Upper and Lower Egypt. Several finds throughout the country, including lavish tombs at Saqqara and Abu Rawash in the north of the Memphite necropolis, dated to Den’s reign, bear witness of the country’s wealth and prosperity. The oldest known funerary boat is dated to the reign of Den and was found at Abu Rawash. Probably King Den. 1-2 Dyn. 3000BC (circa) Temple of Osiris (Abydos) ivory 8.8 centimetres (max) British Museum London. #ancient #egyptian #history #museum https://www.instagram.com/p/CDObLcXHlee/?igshid=1lk2bd4r6in7a
