The Saqqara Pyramids

A few weeks ago, Pastor Peter, his wife Michele, and their boys took us to visit our first pyramids. We went to an area outside of Cairo called Saqqara. It is a huge site with many pyramids, tombs, and other ruins. Here are a few pictures.

We are next to the first pyramid built in Egypt. It was built in 2650 B.C.

We went inside a different pyramid. This is the "stairway" we used to get in and out.

Here's Steph inside a pyramid! She's under a doorway and the wall above her is covered hieroglyphics.

Paul and Alex under a ruin covered in hieroglyphics.

Inside Teti's pyramid, this carving and  paint is about 4,300 years old.
