Pyramid of Unas

In the heart of the Saqqara necropolis, in the shadow of the more majestic Step Pyramid of Djoser, stands a modest, almost completely ruined pyramid. Its appearance, however, is deceptive. This is the pyramid of Pharaoh Unas – one of the jewels of Ancient Egypt. Its significance for Egyptology and world culture is incommensurate with its size, for inside one can see the world of the oldest religious literature in the world, carved in stone.
