Double Pyramid, Funerary pyramid in Abusir, Egypt.
The Double Pyramid consists of two connected pyramidal structures built from limestone blocks, standing on the Abusir necropolis plateau north of Saqqara.
Constructed during the Fifth Dynasty around 2494-2345 BCE, this pyramid complex served as part of the royal burial grounds of ancient Egyptian pharaohs.
The dual structure of the pyramid reflects ancient Egyptian beliefs about death and resurrection, representing the connection between earthly life and afterlife.
Visitors can reach the Double Pyramid through organized tours from Cairo, with the site requiring sturdy walking shoes and sun protection equipment.
Archaeological excavations near the Double Pyramid revealed administrative papyri documents detailing the economic operations of ancient Egyptian temple priesthoods.
