Bent Pyramid
Dahshur is a royal necropolis located in the desert on the West Bank of the Nile, approximately 40 kilometers (25 miles) south of Cairo in Egypt. It is home to several pyramids, two of which are among the oldest, largest, and best preserved in Egypt. These two pyramids are known as the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, and they were built between 2613 and 2589 BCE. The Bent Pyramid gets its name from its unusual shape, as the angle of its sides changes partway up the structure. The Red Pyramid, on the other hand, is so named because of the reddish hue of its limestone blocks. Both pyramids are open to visitors and are popular tourist attractions.
