    • All around the pyramid site are the remains of the tombs of nobles who wished to be buried as close to their pharaoh as possible. Many of these were 'mastabas', the heaped stones which were the precursors of the pyramids.

    I had never realised they existed; I'd always thought of the pyramids at Giza standing alone, not set within a complex of other tombs and temples.

    I had no chance to explore them but, if you have time, I am certain they would be worthwhile.

     With all my drama in india , I hadn't realised you'd made it to the pyramids. There isn't much to be seen in the other tombs, if you can get into the workers , I don't know. That's why I much prefer Saqqarah.    		sayedaburas Tue Jan 15, 2008 07:52 UTC
