Interior the Pyramid of King Teti
It is the second known pyramid containing Pyramid Texts. The pyramid was opened by Gaston Maspero in 1882. It was originally called Teti’s Places Are Enduring. The preservation above ground is very poor, and it now resembles a small hill. Below ground the chambers and corridors are very well preserved.
During Teti’s reign, high officials were beginning to build funerary monuments that rivaled that of the king. His vizier, Mereruka, built a mastaba tomb at Saqqara which consisted of 33 richly carved rooms, the biggest known tomb for an Egyptian nobleman.
Old Kingdom, 6th Dynasty, reign of King Teti, ca. 2323-2291 BC. Saqqara pyramid field.
