Everyone knows the famous Egyptian pyramids of Giza, but there are other smaller ones as well, such as the ‘stepped pyramid’ built by the early Pharaoh Djoser (Zoser) in 2680 BCE. For those, like me, math challenged, that’s about 4700 years ago. I took this picture when I was on a Zegrahm Expeditions trip called ‘Legendary Empires’ in 2012. It was a fantastic itinerary. I’m looking forward to going back to Egypt later this year with Smithsonian Journeys.
