GENESIS of the PYRAMIDS | Saqqara Unveiled

Join us as we explore the ruins of ancient Memphis and its necropolis of Saqqara, where we find ancient archaeological treasures and learn about the growth and development of Egyptian pyramid design. What can we learn about the enigmatic figure of King Djoser, founder of the Old Kingdom?

Thank you for watching this episode of the #antiquitiestravelguide. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it.

CORRECTION: The mummified foot, which was stated in the video to be that of Djoser, was carbon dated and found to be long after the time of Djoser, so it could not be his. http://puvodni.mzm.cz/Anthropologie/d...

CLARIFICATION: The inscription on the outside of Unas' pyramid was written by Khaemweset, son of Ramesses II of the 19th dynasty. It states that Unas' pyramid was repaired at that time and that Unas' name was restored to the pyramid.
