Cairo Stopover Tour

The Cairo Top Tours Experience  team will take you to Memphis. You will visit The Open Air Museum: You will go to the Open Air Museum, which is made up of the well-preserved remains of Memphis, the former capital.

Near the massive colossus of Rameses II, which once delineated the temple's southern axis, the remnants of the great temple of Ptah and its grounds are on exhibit as an outdoor museum.  Giovanni Caviglia, an Italian archaeologist, found it in 1820 close to the temple of Ptah's southern gate.  The sculpture is currently dis-played lying on its back because its base and feet are broken off from the rest of its body. Then we'll move on to Dahshur. Archaeologists now believe that the Bent Pyramid represents a transitional form between step-sided and smooth-sided pyramids.

It has been proposed that the structure may have started to exhibit instability during construction because of the steepness of the original angle of inclination, causing the builders to choose a shallower angle in order. This theory appears to be borne out by the fact that the adjacent Red Pyramid, built immediately afterwards by the same king was con-structed at an angle of 43" from its base.

This fact also goes against the argument that the builders modified the angle to finish the structure on time because they thought it would take too long at the original angle because death was getting closer. In 1974, Kurt Mendelssohn suggested the change of the angle to have been made as a security precaution in reaction to a cat collapse of the Meydum Pyramid while it was still under construction.
