This is Meidum - the site of the second pyramid ever built in Egypt by Sneferu - father of khufu who built the great pyramid. It was abandoned incomplete by Sneferu who went on to build the bent and red pyramids at Dashour - then returned to change it from a step to true pyramid. But then, it likely collapsed in antiquity.
In the cemetery of Meidum we visited mastaba 17 - the oldest tomb with ancient granite sarcophagus. Very “Indiana jones experience crawling in !”
