Going inside the pyramid
The interior of Egypt’s ‘bent’ pyramid may be reached by traveling via a 256-foot tunnel that leads to two chambers deep within the monument. The 4,600-year-old edifice, which came after stepped-sided pyramids and before straight-sided pyramids like the Great Pyramid of Giza, played an important role in the evolution of pyramid construction. It is located near Dahshur, some 17 miles south of central Cairo, and was built for Sneferu, the founder of the Fourth Dynasty.
