Red Pyramid
Red Pyramid, EGplace
About
The world’s oldest true pyramid, the Red Pyramid probably derives its name from the red tones of its weathered limestone, after the better-quality white limestone casing was removed. The architects had learned from their experiences building the rather deformed Bent Pyramid, so carried on where they had left off, building the Red Pyramid at the same 43-degree angle as the Bent Pyramid’s more gently inclining upper section. Penetrating its somewhat dank interior is a true Indiana Jones experience.
