Pyramid of Pepi II
Saqqara, Egypt
Constructed around 2270 BCE, the Pyramid of Pepi II is the final resting place of Egypt’s longest-reigning pharaoh. It originally stood at 52.5 meters with inscriptions of Pyramid Texts lining the burial chambers. Visitors will uncover these ancient passages and hieroglyphs, a reality less polished than those of Giza.
