The Ancient Egyptian had different necropolises during the Old Kingdom period; Giza, Saqqara, Dahshour, Abusir, Aburawash etc ………….
The shapes and the sizes of the pyramids of Egypt differ from one to another from stepped to bent to complete .
The Pharaohs had put their mummies after being mummiffied, then the artifactes used in their afterlife like beds, combs, cosmetics, mummified food, funeral furniture etc ……….
