If you’re into Egyptian ruins and history beyond merely taking a peek at the pyramids at Giza and other mainline antiquities sites, a side-trip to Memphis and the nearby necropolis of Saqqara is well worth a visit.
Once the most populous city on Earth, Egypt’s one-time ancient capital is an open-air museum, its great pharaonic temple reduced to stubby pillars and with dogs laying around in the shade on what was once its grandest street.
In this video I show you both Memphis (with its giant statue of Rameses II lying on its back inside a pavilion built over it) as well as Memphis’s great necropolis at Saqqara a few miles away. Saqqara includes Egypt’s oldest pyramid and prototype for those at Giza, the Pyramid of Gjoser, part of the oldest stone building complex known in history.
