the Pyramid of Unas

In 1989
when I made my first trip to Egypt
the Pyramid of Unas
was the first pyramid I entered.
It was then later closed for many years.
Now it is opened again and one is allowed to take photos
if you buy a photo ticket, and I did.
Unas was the last king of the 5th dynasty.
His pyramid is located between the enclosures of Djoser´s pyramid and Sekhemkhet´s in Saqqara
Unas pyramid is the first since Djoser to be decorated. Walls in the burial chamber
ante chamber and section of the horizontal passage are covered with vertical columns of carved hieroglyphs.
The earliest example of the Pyramid Texts.
Information text is from the book:
“The Complete Pyramids – by Mark Lehner”
