In 332 BC, after Menis unified the upper and lower Egypt, Alexander the Great occupied Egypt, and the Greek Ptolemaic dynasty then ruled Egypt.

Before and after, about 32 dynasties were experienced. In 30 BC, Egypt fell into the hands of the powerful Roman Empire, and Cleopatra became the last pharaoh ruler of Egypt.

At this point, the Pharaoh dynasty in Egypt has actually been destroyed.

According to archaeological needs, this long history was subdivided into several periods, each including several dynasties from around 3100 BC to 30 BC.

Modern scholars of blood-rich all believe that the most important one is the ancient kingdom period, that is, the pyramid era from the Third Dynasty to the Sixth Dynasty, about 2686 BC to 2181 BC.

According to Dr. Edwards' theory, this was the most brilliant pyramid era, especially the construction of the pyramid reached its peak in the Fourth Dynasty.

The King of Menes established a new capital in Memphis. Memphis was hidden among the dense palm trees on the west bank of the Nile River in the upper part of the Delta, and was close to the border between upper and lower Egypt, and had important political and symbolic significance.

Later, during the New Kingdom period, around 1450 BC, the unified Egypt moved its capital to Thebes in Upper Egypt. However, until the 2nd century AD, Memphis continued to flourish.

Unfortunately, this once great city has nothing left. In the past, where the palaces were majestic and temples stood, there are now only groups of donkeys and oxen eating grass under the date palms.

If sufficient funds are available, the site should be excavated in a planned manner. Unfortunately, the archaeological knowledge about this ancient metropolitan city is still pitifully small.

The ancient public cemetery of Segara is located a few thousand meters west of Memphis and is an important cemetery of the kings in Egyptian history. There are the famous Zosel step-like pyramids and several smaller pyramids, as well as the pyramids of Unas, the last pharaoh of the Fifth Dynasty of Egypt.

The name of Segara may be derived from Socarol Andrews, the falcon god who is in charge of the cemetery. Segara has many other tombs, and many of the walls are extremely exquisitely decorated, with scenes of people's daily life when the pyramid was built.

There is also an exciting discovery in this cemetery, which is the recent discovery of a general's tomb from the era of Ramoses II north of Segara. Unfortunately, these tombs, like the pyramids, are suffering from disasters brought about by tourism.

To prevent the situation from worsening, they all need protection.

About 20 miles north of Memphis. On the other side of the river is the legendary sanctuary Yunu. It was later called Heliopolis by the Greeks.

This is where the priests live, all of whom are the guardians of the Magisters, Inspirational Sects or the Temple of the Sun Gods, who use these identities to have a huge impact on the formulation of the Kingdom's religious policies.

Among them, the influence of the wise school continued until the Ptolemaic period. The Greek historian Herodotus once mentioned the wise school with great respect.

Heliopolis is now a suburb of Greater Cairo. A prosperous scene. However, the glory of the past has disappeared, leaving only the Twelfth Dynasty, about 1940 BC, with the obelisk of Pharaoh Sesotres I and the pillars of several incomplete temples.

After a person dies, the soul must be consistent with the ascending ladder, which is common in myths. William Lebi's book "Architects, Mysteries and Myths" proves this very well.

The book mentions Nebuchadnezzar, the ancient Babylonian king who built the sky garden, and when he restored the temple of Borciputa, Lebi translated the inscription of Nebuchadnezzar as follows:

"I have repaired and perfected the miracle of Bolsippe - the seven temples of the world. I erected the temple with bricks, I smeared the temple with copper powder, and I staggered the temple with marble and other gems in different places."

In the latter few pages of the book, when writing about the step-like remains of Egypt, Lebi mentioned that there are similar buildings in Assyria, in China, and in Mexico.

Gaston Mabel and Perot agreed with the description of a Greek writer. The Great Pyramid was decorated with the colors of the location and the top was covered with gold. The pyramids of the first four dynasties had steps, which seemed to be more than just a coincidence.

The pyramid of Segara has 6 steps, and the height gradually decreases from 38 feet at the bottom to 29 feet at the top, which is very similar to the Tower Temple in Babel.

Mr. Pitrie discovered that before using the outer edge of the surround, the pyramid of Maidom had seven steps, "a pyramid serving the future of the king."

In this way, King Zoser's step-like remains are not just the tombs of the powerful king. As a symbol of Egyptian religion, it stands proudly in the tombs of several generations of Segara, expressing the religious beliefs of the Egyptians and reflecting a high artistic level.

Looking around Memphis and the Nile Valley, King Zosel's tomb is constantly reminding us: Man, your purpose of survival on earth is to prepare for the afterlife!

After Imhotep achieved results in Segara, he successively built several step-shaped pyramids. Among them, the most famous is Maidom, about 45 kilometers south of Segara.

It is said that it was finally built and completed during the reign of King Josel's heir Huni. We really know nothing about Huni himself. In short, the step-stair pyramid was built by the kings of the famous Fourth Dynasty.

They built the pyramids in the true sense, including the majestic pyramid of Dehshul and the three most famous pyramids of Giza.

Although Imhotep did not see the construction of these pyramids, it can be imagined that he had long been confident about it.
