We are still at Saqqara and Zoser’s funerary complex. These pictures aren’t much to see, but they are all I have to tell you this story.

As I think I said, a pyramid is like a tombstone, the tomb is underneath, along with all the items the pharaoh was taking with him to the next life.

Underneath this complex, there are three and one-half miles of shafts, tunnels, chambers, galleries, and magazines. There is a central corridor and two parallel corridors that are about 1200 feet long and connecting 400 rooms.

They will still be excavating places like this in Egypt long after our grandkids are dead and buried.

These pictures are simply photos of excavations or tunnels down to excavations. I got as close as I could get to take these photos without falling in. My guess is that it was over 100 feet down to the bottom of these below ground access points. These photos are all taken looking down below the ground from ground level.
