You don't give any information if someone is doing an Egypt Social Studies project. Thanks a lot. Freaks

    Instead of being insulting, why dont you give us some information yourself ? This website is created entirely by amateur people, who give their own time freely in order to enlighten and educate people. Anyone doing an Egypt Studies project should probably know far more aboutthese places than us, and would be in a far better position to supply information. If you want some professional information try wikipedea.

        but do the contributors to Wikipedia write with any authority?

        I found some very interesting information, and went off on a link which describes the dynasties, this particular pyramid is a 4th dynasty pyramid. I'm impressed with the info. There is an interesting article on henges. I was able to check the different versions of the article, and see who has submitted it.
