Create an itinerary including Pyramid of Teti
The pyramid of Teti is a smooth-sided pyramid situated in the pyramid field at Saqqara in Egypt. It is the second known pyramid containing pyramid texts. Excavations have revealed a satellite pyramid, two pyramids of queens accompanied by cult structures, and a funerary temple. The pyramid was opened by Gaston Maspero in 1882 and the complex explored during several campaigns ranging from 1907 to 1965. It was originally called Teti's Places Are Enduring. The preservation above ground is very poor, and it now resembles a small hill. Below ground the chambers and corridors are very well preserved.

  • This is a relatively small pyramid but it's one which is easily accessible and only a short, cramped walk against what you might encounter at the other pyramids. There isn't much to see inside...

  • This pyramid lost its impressive looks. It looks like a small hill. It is a smooth sided pyramid and rather poorly preserved. It is known for its pyramid texts but we did not have time or opportunity....  more
