It is the smallest Old Kingdom pyramid but significant due to the discovery of Pyramid Texts, spells for the king’s afterlife incised into the walls of its subterranean chambers. First inscribed in Unas’s pyramid, the tradition of funerary texts continued in the pyramids of subsequent rulers, through to the end of the Old Kingdom, and into the Middle Kingdom through the Coffin Texts that form the basis of the Book of the Dead.

Interesting, but with some restrictions - Driver was nice. Guide good informed but not that amused as it was clear, that we wouldn't like to visit Papyrus fabrique, carpet manifacture and oil production. Its also not planmed in the program, but it looks like they get a commision for bringing tourists there. Felucca ride was done by a tourist motor boat for just 45 minutes and botteled water wasnt included ...
