Dahshur Pyramids

 

Dahshur, a village located approximately 40 kilometers southwest of Cairo, is the southernmost point of the pyramid field that starts at Giza. Excavations in Dahshur have uncovered the remains of seven pyramids, along with extensive tomb complexes built for queens and nobles from Memphis until the 13th Dynasty in the Middle Kingdom. the village is also home to two well-preserved early pyramids. These pyramids, the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, were both constructed during the reign of King Sneferu (2613-2589 BC), the founder of the 4th Dynasty. They serve as significant examples of the architectural progress that eventually led to the construction of the Great Pyramid and its counterparts in Giza.
