Pyramids of Meidum

The Pyramids of Meidum, located in Egypt, are an ancient archaeological site that includes a unique pyramid structure initially built for Pharaoh Sneferu during the 26th century BCE. It originally began as a step pyramid but was later modified into a true pyramid shape. The site reflects early advancements in pyramid construction and design. The pyramid is notable for its distinctive incline and the surrounding cemetery containing smaller pyramids. Over time, much of the structure has collapsed, leading to questions about its original appearance and engineering techniques, making it an important site for understanding ancient Egyptian architecture.
