“All Egyptian pyramids were built on the west bank of the Nile, which, as the site of the setting sun, was associated with the realm of the dead in Egyptian mythology.”
>> Yes, this is so true, just like the valley of the kings is located to the West of the Nile. This is where the Ancient Egyptians thought the doorway of the underworld lies = the WEST.
I want to ask anons to use a bit their imagination and try to recreate in their minds a picture of a mirror like pyramid amid lagoons and dense vegetation as talked about in page 83 = a mixture of the 2 pictures I’ve attached to this post. Unfortunately when re-creating how the pyramids were = mirror like, a lot of people simply put them in their current surroundings, totally forgetting the luxurious vegetation landscape all around them. The scene must have been a wonder for the eye = dense green colors with striking, mirror like white pyramid with shiny golden tip. Anons shouldn’t forget the CONTEXT was different.
“Number and location of pyramids
In 1842, Karl Richard Lepsius produced the first modern list of pyramids – now known as the Lepsius list of pyramids – in which he counted 67. A great many more have since been discovered. As of November 2008, 118 Egyptian pyramids have been identified.
The location of Pyramid 29, which Lepsius called the "Headless Pyramid", was lost for a second time when the structure was buried by desert sands after Lepsius's survey. It was found again only during an archaeological dig conducted in 2008.
Many pyramids are in a poor state of preservation or buried by desert sands. If visible at all, they may appear as little more than mounds of rubble. As a consequence, archaeologists are continuing to identify and study previously unknown pyramid structures.
The most recent pyramid to be discovered was that of Sesheshet at Saqqara, mother of the Sixth Dynasty pharaoh Teti, announced on 11 November 2008.
All of Egypt's pyramids, except the small Third Dynasty pyramid of Zawyet el-Amwat (or Zawyet el-Mayitin), are sited on the west bank of the Nile, and most are grouped together in a number of pyramid fields. The most important of these are listed geographically, from north to south, below.”
>> I wonder if the other groups of pyramids (apart Giza and Saqqara group of pyramid) also match constellations.
