Eastern Cemetery, EGplace
About
In this cemetery, on the eastern flank of the Queen's Pyramids, you can still see the perfectly smooth limestone facing along the bases of some structures. The 4th-dynasty Tomb of Meresankh III, after 25 years of closure, has been reopened to help boost tourism. The bas-reliefs of daily life inside – scenes depict farming and craftspeople as well as Meresankh's family – provide a colourful contrast with the stark, unadorned interiors of the Pyramids.
