Saqqara Necropolis

The Saqqara Necropolis is a vast, ancient burial ground located about 30 kilometers (18.6 miles) south of modern-day Cairo, Egypt. It served as the principal necropolis for the ancient Egyptian capital of Memphis for over 3,000 years, from the Early Dynastic Period (around 3100 BCE) through the Roman era. Its name is thought to derive from Sokar, the ancient Egyptian god of the necropolis.

The world’s oldest complete stone building complex. Built during the Third Dynasty (around 2630 BCE) by the brilliant architect Imhotep, this pyramid was a revolutionary architectural innovation. It transitioned from earlier mud-brick mastaba tombs to a multi-tiered, step-like structure, paving the way for the “true pyramids” later built at Giza and elsewhere.

Dahshur Pyramids

Dahshur is an ancient royal necropolis located approximately 40 kilometers (25 miles) south of Cairo, and it is a truly significant archaeological site in Egypt. It served as a major burial ground for pharaohs, particularly during the Old and Middle Kingdoms, and is renowned for its crucial role in the evolution of pyramid construction.

Ancient City of Memphis

The ancient city of Memphis, located in Lower Egypt near the Nile River, holds immense historical and archaeological significance. It was the first capital of a unified Egypt, established around 3000 BC by King Menes (also known as Narmer). Its strategic position at the mouth of the Nile Delta made it a crucial hub for commerce, trade, and administration throughout much of ancient Egyptian history.

First Capital: Memphis served as the capital during the Early Dynastic Period and the Old Kingdom, and remained an important city even after the political capital shifted to other locations like Thebes and later Alexandria.
