The first real pyramid in Egypt, the ‘Red Pyramid’ and its first try the Bent Pyramid in Dahshur. The world’s earliest stone monument was built at Saqqara in 2650 BC! Nearby the ancient capital Memphis was built around 3,100 BC, symbolically located at the spot where the Nile Delta meets the river valley, thus serving as a bridge, unifying the lands of Upper and Lower Egypt.
