Pepi I and II Pyramids
Pepi I and II Pyramids submitted by AlexHunger : Pepi I and II were Pharaos of the 6th Dynasty of the old kingdom, just before it fell into the chaos of the first intermediate period. In between, you may see the Mastaba of Shebseskaf, the Menrenre, the Djedkare Izezi Pyramidand and possibly the remains of the Ibi I Pyramids. The area is only accessible to all terrain vehicles, so this is only a long distance photo from the red pyramid. (Vote or comment on this photo)
