Egypt: Old and Middle Kingdom Pyramids
A soft pink in the morning sunlight, the three pyramids of the Giza Plateau, the majestic icons of ancient Egypt, dominate the skyline, the last surviving wonders of the ancient world. Less well-known perhaps are the pyramids of el-Lahun, Hawara, Meidum, Dahshur, Abu Seir and Abu Rawash yet all were built to shelter the burial of the reigning king, a statement of power, a testimony not only to the skill of the ancient builders but to the organizational abilities of court and state. Yet each pyramid has a different story to tell, from simplicity and grandeur to now insignificant mud-brick ‘superstructures’ with no hint of the complex of subterranean rooms and passages beneath. Do join us as we explore together this new course: 'Pyramids of the Old and Middle Kingdoms'. A warm welcome awaits.
