In the entry temple at Sakkara

 
Me and my brother Mat with a 5000 year old statue at Sakkara (L) and Pharoah Zhoser looking out from his crypt (R)

This guy was so funny looking that it was well worth the baksheesh (tip/bribe) to take his picture!

 
Me and my mother at the Bent Pyramid at Dashur

 
At the Red Pyramid at Dashur.  We went inside this one!
