Not illustrated. 1908 Excerpt: ...pyramid, and the great pyramid, all belonging to the group of Dahshur (p. 162). Not far from these we next perceive the Mastabat el-Fara'6n, with the pyramid ofPhiopsIL; then, exactly above the houses of Sakkara, two pyramids, the lesser of which is that of Phiops I.; and, lastly, to the right, the pyramid of Ounos, the great step-pyramid, and two mailer ones (to the right, that of Teti). These last eight pyramids belong to the group of Sakkara.--Having nearly reached 3/4 hr. from the statues of Ramses) Sakkara, we leave the village to the left, passing an open space with a pond, turn towards the N.

At the end of these, on the left, is a beautiful, shady sycamore, close to a spring of good water.--A second road leads to the N. past the Temple of Ptah (p. 141), aiid through the narrow streets of Mit Rahineh, and then runs due W., through the fields, to the Step Pyramid. A different route mast be followed during the period of the inundation, when the low ground between Mit Rahineh and Sakkara is under water. From the statues of Ramses we return to the (5 miii.) end of the embankment (see p. 139), which leads back to Bedrashein, and then turn to the N., traverse the whole of the palm-grove, and ride through the brick houses of ancient Memphis, until we reach another embankment which winds across the plain towards the W., and is interrupted by a bridge with sluices. In 20 min. more we reach the margin of the desert beside some brick ruins (marked 'Remains of a house in crude brick1 oh the Map) where we join the above route. The united two routes ascend to the plateau, and bring us in sight of the vast Necropolis of Sakkara, which extends about 41/3 M. in length from N. to S., and l/--l M. in width from E. to W.
