First Pyramid in Egypt.

The first pharaoh to build a pyramid of Djoser in Egypt was probably descended from 3rd, was a step in the evolution of the graves terrace with a layer of stones at the base. In fact, the builders of the pyramid simply piling up layer upon layer of the first stone in the continued decline in the volume on top of each other until they intervened building the pyramid.
Complex of King Djoser at Saqqara and was probably designed by famed architect and priest, Imhotep, and not only is the first pyramid we know it, but also the first major archaeological stone structure we see in Egypt or abroad...

    However, like the pyramids in the Americas, it was not true of the pyramid, and the absence of outside, and the surface smoothness. After the experience of Djoser, there was a major reorientation towards the building of the pyramid is true, as evidenced by those who, like the pyramid built at Dahshur, and more other failures, as in the pyramid Meidum Snofru, which was the first to be planned as a true pyramid.

    At the outset, been thwarted attempts to build a real pyramid designs by the parties of the pyramid on the steep slope. However, when it built the pyramid Snofru other Dahshur, the Red Pyramid, which did this, is the first success, and the pyramids of truth.

The culmination of the tail, and most of the ancient pyramids in fact came from a strain of 4 with the builders of Giza, in spite of the Red Pyramid is actually a giant latticework structure.

However, to our surprise all of us were amazed at the Great Pyramids of Giza, this is not the height or the height of the pyramid's construction. Only in a strain of 5 see the shape of the hierarchical growth in maturity.
 
Pyramids do not have the same structure, or follow the guidelines exactly the same throughout Egyptian history.

    Pyramids in early, including the Zoser was very complex with many components. In these pyramids in the early, and the placement of the rooms and corridors of the underground, and their number varies a great pyramids at a later time.



Milestones in the pyramids of Egypt:
• About 2630 BC C: Pyramid of Djoser designed by Imhotep is the first pyramid in the entire structure, and also the first known to the world at huge stone.

• About 2575 BC. C: Red pyramid is built by Snofru the pyramid and the first real success after a series of failures. The relaxed, tube sides

• About 2551 BC. C: The Great Pyramid of Kufru been built, the pyramid, the largest ever built in Egypt, and may also be the first pyramid of Queen Pyramids attached to the sub-complex.

• About 2465 BC C: Weserkaf pyramid at Saqqara is the first pyramid with an entrance on the pavement of the courtyard of the pyramid on the north side rather than focusing on the face of the pyramid itself. Interestingly in this pyramid, the mortuary temple is located on the south side, by providing a unique service in this room.

• About 2375 BC. C: for the first time to our knowledge, we find that the text inside the pyramid pyramid of Unas at Saqqara

• About 2278 BC. C: the pyramid of Pepi II was in the past to be based on the traditions of the Old Kingdom and the past to build a pyramid at the beginning of a huge family of 12 UK East.

• About 1991 BC C: Amenemhat I use adobe bricks to build his pyramid in Lisht. Now, not only is the name of the complex, but each element of the complex was also given a name.

• About 1956 BC. C: the pyramid of Sesostris I in Lisht Sub pyramids were built with the most complex of any built before or after his time.

• About 1877 BC. A: With the pyramid of Sesostris II Lahun, the builders of the growing concern about security after the tradition, the first portal site, and is not a pyramid in the north chapel in the middle of the northern wall of the complexes, like many early senility, but also concealed the step to enter on the pavement of the courtyard of the pyramid, near the the eastern edge of the southern side of the pyramid. It also includes a more complex infrastructure that indicates that the move towards the worship of Osiris, and away from the traditions of sun worship, and probably marks the end to reach the pyramid builders.

• About 1817 BC. C: Amenemhet III becomes the last major success as a builder of scale with the structure of the pyramid in Hawara. Whether it's pyramid in Dahshur are built with a compact mass of the burial chamber with ports for the coffins and jars canompic.
However, in the late 5th dynasty of Egypt, and the nature of each of the pyramid is nothing more simple and unified structures with all the necessary components. While the pyramids were not as large as those of Giza, has matured to divinity.


Subscriptions Unas, the last ruler of the dynasty of 5, we find the pyramid with all the components and good design, construction. This pyramid is oriented from east to west. She had built a pyramid with a core of local limestone and a fine white limestone casing, with the north entrance of the church, under the pyramid, with a basis consisting of the descending entrance corridor, with a barrier, resulting in flat morgue, the dead King directly at the top of vertical pyramid. The arrival of the first runner in the hall, and to the right, or the West is the burial chamber, while the left (east) room was small annex.



Components and the pyramids of Egypt

There was a courtyard of a small cult pyramid pyramid, and I thought that perhaps the King Ka (spirit), and the mortuary temple, located to the east of the pyramid. Mortuary temple consists of the outer door of the entrance hall and an open forum Baptist, which often have the floor basalt.


    Columns support an ambulance outside the yard. And the mortuary temple shrine was five niche chapel and a room behind it to provide a false door adjacent to the pyramid, and the balance in front of the altar.

    The back door of the dead king allowed into the room offered to take his food symbolism. Both internal and external doors of the funerary temple store attachments on both sides of the internal and external doors of the structure are also divided by the corridor browser. In all parts of the structure, copious amounts of pink granite and a fine white limestone used in the sheath and the walls for other purposes.
 
Layout of the Pyramid of Unis at Saqqara in Egypt
This complex was surrounded by a fence enclosure. One way, and often dealt with, connected to the mortuary temple and pyramid to a small temple, the valley, which in many cases was nothing more than a huge gate. Temple in the valley, the bridge, the mortuary temple and the infrastructure of the pyramid, and all the themes and decor for the most part now, including the text now finally the famous pyramid;

 While none of them offer in the pyramid
Of A, can also expect to see the pyramids and the graves of the relatives of the king within the outer wall, and near the complex there was a small town. While the pyramid is being built, workers and craftsmen who live in the city; Priests and others working in the funerary temple to live in a society like this indefinitely, or at least as long as you remain faithful worship the King. While the pyramid of Unas is not the largest or the best preserved, was a milestone in building the pyramid, with full design and balanced.

Egypt's first post-transition, and saw 12 families resume construction of the pyramids, archaeological sites, but these pyramids were built of mud brick and grains not only new, and time of the Great Pyramid was built by some early on.
 
    With the passage of time, and the end of the age pyramid, the pyramid building was beginning to return to be less organized.

    Some traditional concepts, such as the pyramid is located under the door of a church in north-central face north of the pyramid has become less important, then hide the door of tomb robbers. It is likely that the builders of the pyramids have forgotten some of the skills of their ancestors; they often face difficulties in the development of the burial chamber in the pyramid's vertical axis.
 
Now, instead of queens that have smaller pyramids in the complex, are buried inside the private rooms of the main pyramid. Although some traditions have been lost, and some traditions strongly re-design concepts for the complex of King Djoser at Saqqara.
 
But with the advent of the Second Intermediate Period, and the structure of power in Egypt began to move to the south, and not worship the sun were frequent, as in the north.

There will be some recovery later in Egyptian history, but most of this movement marked the end of the builders of the pyramid. Perhaps because the resources available, but certainly also the result of changes in religious concepts, and left Egypt in the area of the pyramid of the topics of religious theology decorative high and most complex of tombs of good in the West Bank.
 
However, it was this development, because we see in many aspects of a complex of pyramids in this new funerary new.



Around the cemetery Abusir

Abu Sir site was selected for the kings of the dynasty forgotten 5. Despite the size of features, these Kings do not have the fame of their ancestors of the breed, 4. Site had been closed for many years to visitors, but now open to the public.
 
Pyramids of Abu Sir originally consisted of fourteen pyramids from strain, 5. Only four remain. Of four, and the first meeting because it flows from the main complex at Saqqara is the Pyramid of Neferefre.
 
This pyramid is not complete, which is in very bad condition. However, there were some noteworthy in the hierarchy, including the group of statues of the monarchs of the Old Kingdom, and several photos of the king or, more likely themselves Neferefre Raneferef, including one of him seated on a throne holding scepter. Original name is "divine souls are Ba Neferefre. The length of the base of 65 meters (217 feet).
 
Besides the pyramids, and there are many graves in the cemetery and temples of the kings of the dynasty Sunday 5 located just north of Abu Ghauob.
