Pyramid of Amenemhat II

The Pyramid of Amenemhat II is an ancient Egyptian royal tomb built during the Middle Kingdom around 1850 BCE. It features a true pyramid shape with stepped sides, designed for the pharaoh's afterlife. Inside, it includes burial chambers, corridors, and inscriptions meant to protect and honor the king in eternity. Its architecture reflects a transition from earlier smooth-sided pyramids to more complex structures, emphasizing both royal power and religious beliefs. Today, the pyramid provides valuable insights into Egyptian funerary practices and their evolving architectural styles during the Middle Kingdom.
