One of the oldest pyramids in Egypt is the Meidum pyramid, which is reportedly still a mystery to the Pharaonic people. The pyramid close to Memphis on the west bank of the Nile River in Beni Suef, 100 km south of Cairo in the Meidum area, is also said to be the first pyramid ever erected in history.
In Dahshur, the rhomboidal pyramid, built for King Snefrou, founder of the 4th dynasty, and a neighbouring pyramid were opened to the public. Archaeologists have also discovered sarcophagus, masks and mummies near the black pyramid of Amenemhat II.
Located 40 km south-west of Cairo, the village of Dahshur marks the end of a vast pyramid zone that begins at Giza. It is in this village that the Ministry of Antiquities has just opened two large pyramids to the public for the first time. These are the rhomboid pyramid with its strange inclination and the ‘Ka’ pyramid. Both built during the reign of King Snefru (2613-2589 BC), founder of the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom and father of the famous King Cheops - builder of the Great Pyramid on the Giza Plateau - these two pyramids underwent restoration work that lasted two months before becoming accessible to visitors.
‘Ladders were placed on the outside to facilitate access to the pyramids, and planks were placed in the corridors to make it easier to visit the interior,’ explains Moustapha Waziri, Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities (CSA).
Large mud-break mastabas, which were first constructed for the final Huni ruler of the third dynasty, make up the Meidum pyramid. Under the rule of King Senefru, his successor, construction resumed. The renowned ancient Egyptian architect Imotep, who constructed the Djoser step pyramid, was succeeded by the architect who carried out the building of the Meidum. Nevertheless, Imotep's design was altered, and attempts to lengthen the building resulted in its partial collapse.
The tomb of Ra Hetep and Nefert, north of the Meidum Pyramid, is one of the most famous archaeological tombs in the region, inside which the statues of Ra Hetep and Nefert were found, which are among the masterpieces on display at the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir. The Oz of Meidum, which was found in the Nefer Maat and Itt mastaba north of the Meidum Pyramid, is one of the most magnificent scenes of Egyptian art from the Old Kingdom era, and is now preserved in the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir.
