Itinerary
You will be taken from your hotel to the Meidum Pyramid, which has become the emblem of Beni Suef Governorate. It is 92 meters high, a height unmatched by any building before it, with a base width of 144 meters and an angle of inclination of 51.53 degrees.
It was built on a limestone platform consisting of three courses. In an attempt by Petrie to understand how this pyramid was built and its architectural composition, he and the archaeologist Wainwright dug a tunnel in the eastern side of the pyramid to the south of the funerary temple in the first mastaba. He discovered that the pyramid was built with nine faces inside each other, but he was disappointed to find a hidden burial chamber. He concluded that the pyramid was built in three phases: the first consisted of a stepped pyramid of seven steps with a well-carved and smooth surface.
Then, in the second phase, the pyramid was expanded on all sides, and an eighth step was added to become an eight-step pyramid. Then the third phase involved making an external cladding with smooth carved stone at an angle of 51.53 degrees to make it a complete pyramid with level surfaces and not stepped. He explained the current shape of the pyramid, which resembles a tower, due to the removal of a step from the first phase and a step from the second phase due to the removal of stones from the pyramid.
