In a Pharaohs Footsteps
Overview
Overview
This tour brings you an entire history and experience of how the pyramids’ design and structure changed and developed through the efforts of one Pharoah who built 3 of those pyramids.
By any analysis, the Pharoah Sneferu would have to be considered one of the most outstanding figures in the history of Egypt and the world. His intellect, design, planning skills, and innovations are on a level unequaled in history.
Building three pyramids during his life (the 4th Dynasty 2,600 BC) would place him on a scale of achievement that few have ever attained. The pyramids that he created, at Meidum and Dahshur which ultimately led to the construction of the Giza pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure resulted in a legacy lasting 4,500 years. And yet, not many realise that it was the skills and leadership of Sneferu and the knowledge that he acquired which led him to achieve his vision and to enshrine his legacy.
But building the pyramids was not just the product of his organizational skills. His purpose, passion, and drive in undertaking such enormous tasks reflected his ultimate belief in a life beyond his mortality. In seeking perfection for his pyramids, in the way they captured and reflected light, in their compass positions and alignment with the stars of Orion, it was believed would help him transcend from earth to the Gods.
The constellation Orion had been associated by ancient Egyptians with Osiris, the god of rebirth and it was this alignment between his pyramids and the Gods that Sneferu sought to achieve.
