Yesterday, we traveled 45 minutes outside of the neighborhood to visit a carpet school (where they make those lovely "oriental" things we walk on) and the Pyramids at South Saqqarra.They were amazing!
Here are pictures from the Red Pyramid:
Shown:
-Steps going up to entrance (you gotta go up before you can go down)
-Inside looking up (quite a small and narrow space)
-Ashley and Gin climb scaffolding stairs inside to funerary room
-entering the pyramid (once inside...you crawl down a really long set of stairs in a space 3 ft by 3 ft...not for the claustrophobic!)
-3 different views of outside the Red Pyramid
(named for the color of limestone that used to on its casing)
