Hanslune Posted June 21, 2021 #3880 Share Posted June 21, 2021 What's your favourite pyramid? (this question was asked at Quora and I've moved it here with some minor changes) I’ve changed this to favourite pyramids (5 in total) Mastaba 3038 in Saqqara of Anedjib, 1st Dynasty circa ~ 2700 BCE [/img] Mastaba from Anedjib at Sakkara A unique mastaba tomb at North Sakkara from the reign of king Anedjib. It's core was a stepped mud brick mound. This design is thought to have developed ending with the step pyramids some 200 years later, but no other stages can clearly confirm this theory. https://www.nemo.nu/ibisportal/0egyptintro/2egypt/2bildsidor/2anedjib.htm While called a mastaba it is a small tier pyramid A Maya pyramid called That contained the burial of Pakal a famous ruler [/img] Pyramid of Cestius in Rome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_of_Cestius Workers pyramid - small resources; big dreams.

(this question was asked at Quora and I've moved it here with some minor changes) I’ve changed this to favourite pyramids (5 in total) Mastaba 3038 in Saqqara of Anedjib, 1st Dynasty circa ~ 2700 BCE More like 2930BC. Depictions of other 1st Dynasty "pyramid"(s) were also found perhaps associated with Qa'a: According to Emery Anedjib is the only pyramid structure found though he thinks it possible others of this later period may have been similar so for Qa'a to have built a pyramid structure makes sense. Interestingly what we see in these photos is quite misleading: This is only one of 3 phases of construction which at some point later, perhaps within Adnejib's reign, a palace facade serekh mastaba was built around it otherwise completely obscuring it from view. Emery says: Quote When first excavated, the superstructure of the tomb appeared to follow the familiar design of a rectangular platform, with its exterior decorated with recessed paneling [palace facade]. But further digging revealed a stepped pyramid structure hidden within it. Only the lower part of the stepped structure was preserved and it is possible it continued upwards in pure pyramid form. Fig 43,44,45 (Archaic Egypt p82-83) show proposed reconstructions which the pyramid is set within a palace facade mastaba built around it. He continues to say it is possible this was a common feature to the palace facade tombs of the latter half of the first Dynasty, with earlier tombs that encased tumulus mounds in mud brick the likely precursor noting in particular a "Queen Her-nit". I think it is reasonable to wonder if this stepped "pyramid", and the others Emery says may have existed, was built earlier independant of later plans that encased it within a serekh mastaba. Quote Pyramid G1-d - it gets no respect: Next to G1 at Giza Not intended to inter a body. No one can agree what it was for. Regardless, I would note G1-d has a "T" shaped substructure reminiscent of what is seen at Abu Roash and Zawyet El Aryan. Interestingly Rigano, Pyramids of the Giza Plateau p77-81, argues GI-d and GII-a, Khafre's satellite pyramid, to be contemporary: Quote As much as GI-a, b, and c are alike, the recently discovered GI-d is clearly different.... While the general belief among Egyptologists is that GI-d was a planned part of Khufu's Mortuary Complex and possibly served as his ritual pyramid, the facts argue against this belief. Its size at only 10% the volume of the other subsidiary pyramids and its "T" shaped substructure clearly sets GI-d apart from the other three subsidiaries but bears a strong resemblance in size and internal layout to GII-a, the minor pyramid to the south of Khafre's pyramid... It is very unlikely GI-d was built first [before the enclosure wall and associated mastabas] and defined the locations for the outer enclosure wall and mastabas. It is much more likely the boundaries were there first and defined the space and size of a pyrmaid built after all were in place. This sets the earliest possible construction date for G1-d to after completion of the southern mastabas. The timing makes GI-d and Khafre's subsidiary pyramid (GII-a) contemporary and explains the similarities between the two pyramids. As an aside, we can see G1-b behind it with tower stepped core surrounded by a true pyramid outer layer akin to Meidum. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop the original in Google translate and it makes more sense sometimes. 15 hours ago, Hanslune said: They went silly Just guessing but I think he's making a point that instead of them being pyramids they'll have the same sort of cultural impact and recognition as the Giza pyramids. Might be giving more credit than due, though. The fellow speaking is the minister of Tourism. Hype is his job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
