Pyramid of Djedefre

Description: There are ruins of the rarely visited Pyramid of Djedefre, located at Abu Rawash, north from the great pyramids of the Giza Plateau. Flinders Petrie, a famous British Egyptologist, considered the Pyramid of Djedefre the oldest one among the existing pyramids. It is generally believed that the ancient egyptians, during the time of the three “kingdom” periods, started destroying the completed pyramid to get the building materials for other construction sites. This state of affairs continued until the times of Copts and Arabs. Unfortunately, only a 12-meters height limestone hill remained from the pyramid structure. However, the height of the complete pyramid was almost 70 meters. The Pyramid of Djedefre is “a piece of good fortune” for the researchers, because the inner pyramid’s structure is out in the open.
