The pyramids area around and south of Cairo is where nearly all pyramids were built more than four thousand years ago.
Apart from some smaller pyramids, all were built during the Old Kingdom which lasted from the4th to the 6th dynasty (about 2613-2181BC).
They are located in and around the old capital Hwt-ka-Ptah (Memphis).
South of To-She (Fayoum) there is only found a handful of pyramids, and then only very small pyramids.
The most known pyramids are of course the three main 4th dynasty pyramids of Giza where the pyramid of Kufu (Cheops) are the largest and most referred to. Name of Kufu's pyramid is the "Pyramid which is the Place of Sunrise and Sunset" and it had an original height of 146 meters (479ft).
Above is a photo of the pyramid as seen from Mena House garden, and next photo is a nearly hundred year old photo taken from exact same place.
