'Pyramid Texts' for King Pepy I, from his pyramid at Saqqara.
Painted limestone fragment from the north wall of the antechamber
Sixth Dynasty, about 2250 BC
The burial and the inscribed walls of chambers within the pyramid of Pepy I were destroyed in antiquity, and were recently restored by the French Institute in Cairo. This fragment is one of the larger pieces outside Egypt, the adjacent parts of the walls have not survived.
The hieroglyphs face left, in their original position on the wall this would be towards the chamber where the body of King Pepy I lay. The five columnns contain words recited to ensure the ascension of the spirit of the King, and to provide food to sustain him.
The inner chamnbers of teh late Old Kingdom pyramids were inscribed in hieroglyphs with religious compositions relating to the funeral of the King, and designed to secure for him eternal life and power. These are the earliest extensive religious compositions from Egypt, first found in the pyramid of Unas, last King of the Fifth Dynasty [about 2350BC], and have been named 'Pyramid Texts' by Egyptologists.

This photo shows the three large Pyramids of Giza at Giza, Egypt. They are located on the west bank of the Nile about 12 miles southwest of central Cairo. This photo is looking eastward. Cairo, located across the Nile, is visible in the distance. The pyramids, in order from left to right, are Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, named after the kings for whom they were built. The pyramids were originally encased in smooth white limestone casing which were later plundered for other constructions.
The Pyramid of Khufu, also known as the Great Pyramid, is the northernmost and oldest of these pyramids. It was built for Pharaoh Khufu (Greek: Cheops, who ruled from 2589-2566 BC), the second king of the 4th Dynasty during the Old Kingdom. It is the largest of the Pyramids at Giza. Originally 481.4 feet high, its height is now 451.4 feet. The length of each side at the base is about 755.75 feet.
The Pyramid of Khafre was built for Pharaoh Khafre (Greek: Chephren, who ruled from 2558 to 2532 BC). He was the son of Pharaoh Khufu. It is the second-tallest and second-largest of the Pyramids at Giza. Originally, it was 471 feet high. The length of each side at the base is about 707.75 feet. The original limestone casing stones yet remain at the top of the pyramid and are visible in the photo.
The Pyramid of Menkaure was built for Pharaoh Menkaure (Greek: Mykerinus, who ruled from 2532 - 2504 BC). He was the son of Khafre and grandson of Khufu. It was the southernmost and last pyramid to be built at Giza. It is also the smallest. Originally, it was 218 feet high. The length of each side at the base is about 356.5 feet.
I took this photo in December 1989.

A long way to the Greater Pyramid of Giza
The Egyptian pyramids are ancient pyramid shaped masonry structures located in Egypt.
There are over 100 pyramids in Egypt. Most were built as tombs for the country's Pharaohs and their consorts during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods.[1][2] [3]
The earliest known Egyptian pyramid is the Pyramid of Djoser which was built during the third dynasty. This pyramid and its surrounding complex were designed by the architect Imhotep, and are generally considered to be the world's oldest monumental structures constructed of dressed masonry.
The best known Egyptian pyramids are those found at Giza, on the outskirts of Cairo. Several of the Giza pyramids are counted among the largest structures ever built.[4]
