Ancient Egypt - Comparisons caught on camera


by Heritage Daily
August 21, 2018



Saqqara

Saqqara is a vast, ancient burial ground in some 30 km (19 mi) south of modern-day Cairo in Egypt, serving as the necropolis for the Ancient Egyptian capital, Memphis.

Saqqara features numerous pyramids, including the world-famous Step pyramid of Djoser, sometimes referred to as the Step Tomb due to its rectangular base, as well as a number of mastabas.

Looking at the picture above of the Sphinx and a picture from the current era it is apparent that a lot of work has been done in the head to repair and keep it from deteriorating even more.

What an amazing piece of work that is created by an amazing civilization.
