The Collapsed, Bent and Red Pyramids of Dahshur. Guest appearance by Ra.

Following the creation of Djoser's step pyramid, the Ancient Egyptians began to experiment with the true pyramid form. Snofru appears to have built no less than three pyramids. What happened to the Collapsed Pyramid is somewhat self explanatory. When it came to the Bent Pyramid, someone seem to have realised that if they continued to build at such a steep angle, they would soon have a Collapsed Pyramid Mark 2, so the angle was changed partway through to be less steep, leading to its characteristic 'bent profile. Finally, Snofru's labour force completed the Red Pyramid, the first true pyramid built in Egypt. It's not as large as the Great Pyramid on Giza, but it's y'know pretty big and impressive anyway. And as you can see by the landscape, delightfully empty of tourists! (Because somehow, most tourists groups forget that the Dahshur and Meidum cemetery complexes exist).

The Other Pyramids

Dashur and Saqqara are a bit of a ballache to get to. We did contemplate Uber but the distances between the attractions within each site are also a bit of a bugger and, as we found out at Giza, traipsing around over uneven terrain in the Egyptian heat as your shoes slowly fill with sand and every single molecule of H2O in your body makes a break for freedom isn’t exactly high on the list of…

Tour To Giza, Saqqara, Dahshur & Sound Light

Pyramids Tours,The adage "Egypt is the gift of the Nile" is still relevant today because there wouldn't be any arable land, food, or much electricity without the river. Even if people's lives are becoming more and more physically separated from the water, the Nile continues to play a particularly potent role.

Cairo is amazing, lovely, and occasionally irritating. Cairo Pyramids Tour. The muezzins' distorted call to prayer can be heard echoing from above from rival minarets.

Egypt awakens the scholar in all of us with its sand-covered tombs, stern pyramids, and soaring Pharaonic temples. Visit the Giza Pyramids.

Colourful paintings of daily life in ancient Egypt have been discovered in a tomb dating back more than 4,300 years. The tomb, known as a mastaba, was found in the pyramid necropolis of Dahshur, about 40 kilometres south of Cairo, during a recent Egyptian-German archeological mission. Dahshur is the southernmost of the great pyramid necropolises of the Old Kingdom in the vicinity of the ancient capital of Memphis. The main attractions there are two large pyramids of King Sneferu: the so-called Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid.

If there’s one thing we know about the ancient Egyptians for sure it’s that they were obsessed with death. Their burial practices ranged from the strange to magnificent.

Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses II’s  Statues and Treasures now on Exhibition in Paris

Many of the more than 180 objects have never left Egypt before.

From whichever angle you approach Ramses II, the 13th century B.C.E pharaoh earns his epithet: the Great.

His 67-year reign stands as the second longest in Egyptian history. Bold in both war and peace, Ramses expanded Egyptian territory and signed the earliest-known peace treaty with the Hittites in 1271 B.C.E. This consolidation led to an unparalleled building of cities and monuments—often to himself. Ramses’s progeny was also vast, he’s estimated to have fathered more than 100 children.

There may have been 11 other pharaohs named Ramses, but “Ramses and the Gold of the Pharaohs,” a recently opened show in Paris demonstrates the pharaoh who acquired semi-godlike status in his own lifetime needs no identifiers.

The exhibition is on the third leg of a five-year, 10-city global tour with previous stops at Houston Museum of Natural Science and San Francisco’s de Young Museum. It was devised through a collaboration between the Supreme Council of Antiquities of the Arab Republic of Egypt and World Heritage Exhibitions.

Across more than 180 objects, many of which have never before left Egypt, the show creates a vivid picture of the country’s ancient Golden Age. Though Ramses’s tomb in the Valley of the Kings was raided and plundered of its gold adornments, the show presents ample treasures directly connected to him including a colossal red granite statue of the pharaoh’s head, one of his many gold rings, and painted reliefs celebrating his military victories.

More broadly, the exhibition presents a view of the world Ramses inhabited, sculpted, and inspired. There is space dedicated to the grave of royal tomb builder Sennedjem, a collection of mummified animals found at the Saqqara necropolis, and treasures discovered in the royal tombs in Dahshur and Tanis.

The exhibition also leans on contemporary technology to bring both artifacts and historical events to life. Drone footage and computer animations have been used to recreate the ancient splendor of Ramses’s memorial temple, photo-murals are projected on walls, and there’s a multimedia recreation of the Battle of Kadesh, a 1274 B.C.E. chariot battle widely considered the pharaoh’s greatest military achievement. There is also a V.R. experience available to visitors.

“Ramses II is considered to be the greatest king ever to rule Egypt,” said Mostafa Waziri, Egypt’s Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities in a press statement. “This exhibition will illuminate the pivotal moments that earned the great pharaoh his place in history, while bringing visitors face-to-face with absolutely stunning Egyptian artifacts”.

Part of the treasure discovered in the tomb of the 'King's daughter' Nubhetepti-khered in Dahshur, possibly a daughter of Hor Awibre also known as Hor I or of Amenemhat III;  13th dynasty of Egypt

A gold diadem of Princess Khenmet, possibly daughter of King Amenemhat II. She is mainly known from her unrobbed tomb containing a set of outstanding personal adornments. This masterpiece was found in the tomb of Khnemet and her sister Princess Ita in Dahshur.

The crown is made of a network of interlaced gold wires that entangle nearly 200 small flowers, each with a carnelian eye and five turquoise-inlaid petals. The wires are tied to three pins on each side of five ‘crosses’, which are actually five clusters of lotus blossoms, and terminate at a pair of rings on the back of a sixth ‘cross’.

Princess Khenmet was buried with a gilded dagger as well as a mace. Some elite women in similar ‘Court Type’ graves elsewhere had daggers, too, and often other weapons: maces, bows, arrows, and even spears. In the small chamber next to the sarcophagus were found further personal adornments. These included two diadems and parts of a necklace made in gold. The latter is most likely not an Egyptian work of art, but was perhaps produced in Crete.

The father of Khenmet is uncertain. From the position of the burial, next to the pyramid of Amenemhat II it seems likely that she was his daughter.
