Day 4 - Memphis & Sakkara

On this day, we went to Memphis, which was the site of a previous capital, and Sakkara which had the oldest pyramid - Step Pyramid. Memphis had a collection of items which were all brought to one location. There was a new museum in Sakkara which we had time to visit, and there I saw my first mummy.

Highlight of the day...we got to go inside one of the pyramids, one with lots of paintings and color (more so even than the great pyramids - or so we were told). Unfortunately we weren't allowed to even take our cameras in, so no pictures.

For the days photos...
