    Pyramid of Unas

    Pyramid of Unas – The First Pyramid Texts- Note close at 11:55 AM ( VERY LIMITED ) The Pyramid of Unas, located at the Saqqara necropolis, belongs to Unas, the last pharaoh of Egypt’s Fifth Dynasty. Though small in size, this pyramid holds enormous historical and spiritual importance. Unas’ pyramid is the first known pyramid to feature Pyramid Texts—a collection of ancient religious inscriptions carved into the walls of the burial chamber. These sacred spells were meant to guide the king in the afterlife and became the foundation for later funerary texts like the Coffin Texts and Book of the Dead. The inner corridors are still accessible today, allowing visitors to walk through history and stand in the presence of the world’s earliest religious scripture.
