The Pyramid of Menkaure, the third shortest pyramid in the foreground, is the smallest of the three Pyramids of Giza. It was built to serve as the tomb of the fourth dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh Menkaure.
At the end of the twelfth century al-Malek al-Aziz Othman ben Yusuf, Saladin's son and heir, attempted to demolish the pyramids starting with Menkaure's pyramid. They found it almost as expensive to destroy as to build and were not able to remove more than one or two stones each day. Their efforts left a large vertical gash in the side of the pyramid.

Me and my wife went to Sharm-El-Shiekh for our honeymoon, whilst there we took a trip to Cairo to see the Pyramids, it was very hazy and busy when we were there. Here is one of the shots I managed to get
This is one of the several pyramids that exist in specific points along the coast of the channel at the entrance of the Gulf of Kalloni, in Lesvos island. The pyramids were used many years ago as reference points for the ships to find the narrow deep passage when they were entering or leaving the bay. Today the route is marked by floating green and red lights.

I bought this pyramid a fair few years ago at York Christmas market. A yearly outing with friends enjoying the festive spirit, mulled wine, spot of shopping, and where possible ( dependent on the amount of mulled wine consumed š) attend the NHS Christmas Carol service at the York Minster.
Oh how we missed it this year....

It was so awesome to visit the pyramids with hardly any tourists there. We got hassled a lot (as is the norm for visiting the pyramids I guess) but we followed my friend's advice and just outright ignored everyone and we did just fine. Since I've never been to the pyramids before I can't say if the Egyptians were more desperate than usual to get us to buy post cards and ride camels or if it was just business as usual.

Gallup, NM - November 7, 2019.
Under the step pyramid of Djoser is a labyrinth of tunnelled chambers and galleries that total nearly 6 km in length and connect to a central shaft 7 m square and 28 m deep. These spaces provide room for the king's burial, the burial of family members, and the storage of goods and offerings. The entrance to the 28 m shaft was built on the north side of the pyramid, a trend that would remain throughout the Old Kingdom.
