Near Cairo about halfway between Giza and Abusir
is the village of Zawiyet el-Aryan on the banks of the Nile. Just west
of the village is a necropolis on a slightly elevated area just on the
edge of the desert. This location is about 7 km (4 miles) north of Saqqara.
It is a small, relatively unknown pyramid field containing only two
unfinished pyramids and nothing at all else. The most advanced, older of
these two pyramids is called the Layer Pyramid by Egyptologists and
Haram el-Meduwara, or the "Round Pyramid", by locals. The other pyramid
is simply referred to as the "Unfinished Pyramid of Zawiyet el-Aryan". moreThis is final post for A to Z challenge. I've made it!!! Thank you to all who took time to drop by my blog, read posts and leave comments. Tune in to see draw results and read my Reflection Post of the Challenge on May 7th.

I wanted to be an Egyptologist when I was a kid, but my parents never encouraged me to pursue science :-(
