Vincent Poon :: Saqqara (28th Apr 2007)
Saqqara is a necropolis which was built for the dead. The centrepiece of the area is really the Step Pyramid of Zoser. Originally built by high priest Imhotep (no, not the one in the Mummy Movie) in 2650BC, the pyramid is the world's earliest stone monument and of course the first pyramid built.

Among this city of the dead you are not alone: horses, donkeys and camels will all keep you company.

On the northern side of the pyramid, you can find the original entrance to inside.
Up close you can see the craftmanship really needs some improvement..
Tomb of some kind?
A pile of rubbble or the pyramid of Userkaf?
