As I write this we are still yet to visit the Giza pyramids (watch this space!) but we have seen the less-visited Pyramid of Djoser (the Step Pyramid), which was the first pyramid to be built, and the Pyramid of Amenemhat III which earned the name Black Pyramid for its dark, decaying appearance as a rubble mound. We all went inside the Red Pyramid (named from the rusty reddish hue of its red limestone stones), which is the third largest Egyptian pyramid. It is also believed to be Egypt’s first successful attempt at constructing a smooth-sided pyramid. Local residents refer to the Red Pyramid as el-heram el-watwaat, meaning the Bat Pyramid. After climbing 125 steps we crawled down a 63m long narrow tunnel which was slightly taller than Sophie so the rest of us lunged our way down trying not to hit our heads. At the end there was a dusty bat odour filled burial chamber. This was very different to the hieroglyphed ornate tombs we saw at the Valley of the Kings in Luxor. Craig and Phoebe also crawled into the Bent pyramid, a more challenging tunnel, whilst me and Sophie waited outside in the windy barren desert landscape, imagining ourselves as pharaohs from thousands of years ago.
