Layer Pyramid Facts

The ancient circular pyramid is one of the most famous Pharaonic Egyptian Monuments. It is a circular pyramid dating back to the period of King Khabaor, the most famous of the Egyptian Pharaohs kings of the Third Dynasty of Egypt in the Old Kingdom of Egypt, that is, in the period between (268 BC to 2613 BC), to discover The Secrets of Pyramid Construction and what is the Curse of the Pharaohs associated with the pyramid..

A circular pyramid is now located in the Zawyet El Aryan Tombs, and its ownership is still uncertain, but it is assumed that it may be attributed to the rule of King Khaba..

But the architecture on which that pyramid was based was very similar to that of the Buried Pyramid of King Sekhemkhet, and for this very reason it could be dated to the periods of rule in ancient Egypt “Ancient Egyptian Government” during the Third Dynasty to discover the extent of the development of Architecture in ancient Egypt and the arts of Sculpture in Ancient Egypt.

History of the discovery and construction of this pyramid

In fact, the excavations for the construction of this pyramid were carried out in the period from the beginning of the twentieth century, and this was done by two teams of Egyptology who were completely different, and both of them reported some conflicting estimates in those matters relating to somewhat its size and the number and size of those rooms that are believed to be inside it and who are underground..

Also, unlike usual, no type or form of those Egyptian artifacts and Egyptian Antiquities were found in the pyramid during the excavations that were carried out for it.

It is also worth noting that not a single trace of a tomb has been found inside it before. For this reason, it is unclear to researchers whether the circular pyramid was actually used to bury the Mummy of the pharaohs of King Khaba or whether it was completely abandoned after the king’s early death..

Also, at the time of its known construction, this ancient pyramid was surrounded by a large ancient mastaba basin that dates back in history to those senior officials responsible for ruling in the Third Dynasty..

A funerary Mortuary Temples was also built, the most famous of which was located on this eastern side of that pyramid, but perhaps the valley temple of that pyramid was located approximately several hundred different meters away from it..

Let us say that at the present time, this ancient pyramid was located within the boundaries of the restricted military zone, this of course excluding the various modern excavations that were present at the site..

Funerary complex round pyramid

In fact, the funerary complex of the circular pyramid in question, or its layers, does not show any trace indicating the existence of the enclosure wall, that wall that actually exists in each of those ancient, previous, or even later pyramid complexes..

It may also be that this was due to the theft of the stones that formed the wall later and over time, or it is due to a very simple reason, as the wall was originally never built and it is usually the last element in the complex that is supposed to build the pyramid..

Funerary city

In fact, this is an ancient Egyptian circular pyramid surrounded by five tombs, all of which date back to the periods of the Pharaohs and queens of Pharaonic Egypt “Female Pharaohs“, the era of the First Dynasty of Egypt, the era of the Second Dynasty of Egypt, and also the late era or periods of the Third Dynasty, along with the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt of The New Kingdom, and also some of them were related to the era of the Roman Kingdom “Greek-Roman era“..

Among these important tombs were only those archaeological tombs that dated back to the late Third Dynasty, which at the same time contained a number of large tombs, four of which were made of brick only..
