November 23, 2011 – Sakkara (Step Pyramid), large pyramids (and Sphinx) at Giza.
Pyramids of Giza.
This is me entering the pyramid. It's sometimes called going "into" a pyramid, but going "under" it is a more accurate description. Once you are inside, the ramp is downward -- and pretty steep. The tunnel going down is perhaps 4.5 feet high. Once you get to the bottom (90 feet below grade, I THINK I heard) there are are three or four rooms where you can stand. No wall decorations down there that I rememember (nothing at all like the tombs in Valley of Kings near Luxor).
The inside of the pyramid was one of the places where cameras were not allowed. (L-458A.jpg)
