Egypt Trip
Cairo P.14
Here we are in front of the step pyramid! |
|
We so wanted to feed every dog we saw. |
|
The courtyard was for celebrating the sed festival. After thirty years the pharaoh was expected to prove himself by chasing a sacred bull around the courtyard and catching it by the tail. |
They think Djoser, who the step pyramid was built for, chased the bull every three years instead of thirty. |
They were excavating other areas around the pyramid. |
|
Cool snakes on the wall. |
These steps lead down to a tomb. We weren't allowed down there. |
More excavations. |
