He was supposed to be the first or second Pharaoh of the Third Dynasty, Djoser (c. 2670-2650 BC), during Old Kingdom times (c. 2686-2125 BC). He may have ruled for a term of 19 years or, counting the 19 years as the biennial tax years, for 38.
After learning about the construction of the pyramid, its purpose and the stages of its construction, the Dahshur Pyramids were subsequently modified. The second step in construction was to change the pyramid's shape from a stepped pyramid to a pyramid-shaped one. Amenemhat II, Senusret III, and Amenemhat III were among the Twelfth Dynasty rulers who constructed their pyramids there during the Middle Kingdom. This is where several Middle Kingdom princesses' priceless jewels has been discovered. Egypt's first full pyramid, the northern pyramid of King Sneferu, founder of the Fourth Dynasty, was born in Dahshur, a necropolis 11 km south of Saqqara.
You will see the pyramids of Giza after lunch. Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure ruled during the whole period when the Pyramids of Giza were being constructed. Due to a lack of historical documents, historians mostly think that the history of the Fourth and Sixth Dynasties was "written in stone" both literally and architecturally. This is because the monuments and their inscriptions allowed historians to recreate the history of this period. The pyramids provide very few hints as to when and how they were built, but the funerary temples that were built next to them and the steles that accompanied them tell us the kings' names and other salient information.Enjoy your overnight stay at your hotel in Cairo.
