Pyramid of Meidum

Most Egyptologists believe that Sneferu built this pyramid before Bent and Red pyramids. The pyramid began as an eight stepped structure. The steps were then filled to form a pyramid. It then collapsed under its own weight. This is all that remain today.




It was a long walk to the pyramid
