Abusir Pyramids اهرامات ابوصير
Abusir (Egyptian pr wsjr; busiri, the House or Temple of Osiris; Greek: Βούσιρις; Arabic: ابوصير) is the name given to an Egyptian archaeological locality -- specifically, an extensive necropolis of the Old Kingdom period, together with later additions -- in the vicinity of the modern capital Cairo. The name is also that of a neighbouring village in the Nile Valley, from whence the site takes its name. Abusir is located several kilometres north of Saqqara and, like it, served as one of the main elite cemeteries for the ancient Egyptian capital city of Memphis. Several other villages in northern and southern Egypt are named Abusir or Busiri.
Abusir is one relatively small segment of the extensive pyramid field that extends from north of Giza to below Saqqara, the locality of Abusir took its turn as the focus of the prestigious western burial rites operating out of the then-capital of Memphis during the Old Kingdom 5th Dynasty. As an elite cemetery, neighbouring Giza had by then filled up with the massive pyramids and other monuments of the 4th Dynasty, leading the 5th Dynasty pharaohs to seek sites elsewhere for their own funerary monuments.
Abusir was the origin of the largest find of Old Kingdom papyri to date — the Abusir Papyri. In the late nineteenth century, a number of Western museums acquired collections of fragmentary papyri from the administrative (temple) records of one Abusir funerary cult, that of king Neferirkare Kakai. This discovery was supplemented in the late twentieth century when excavations by a Czech expedition to the site revealed papyri from two other cult complexes, that of the pharaoh Neferefre (also read Raneferef) and for the king's mother Khentkaus II.
There are considerable catacombs near the ancient town of Busiris (Pliny xxxvi. 12. s. 16). To the south of Busiris one great cemetery appears to have stretched over the plain. The Heptanomite Busiris was in fact a hamlet standing at one extremity of the necropolis of Memphis.
There are a total of 14 pyramids at this site, which served as the main royal necropolis during the Fifth dynasty. The quality of construction of the Abusir pyramids is inferior to those of the Fourth Dynasty; perhaps signalling a decrease in royal power or a less vibrant economy. They are smaller than their predecessors, and are built of low quality local stone.
The three major pyramids are those of Nyuserre Ini (which is also the most intact), Neferirkare and Sahure. The site is also home to the incomplete Pyramid of Neferefre. All of the major pyramids at Abusir were built as step pyramids, although the largest of them — the Pyramid of Neferirkare — is believed to have originally been built as a step pyramid some seventy metres in height and then later transformed into a true pyramid by having its steps filled in with loose masonry.

EGYPT: ABU SIR: 2,400 YEAR OLD MUMMIFIED BODY UNCOVERED
English/Nat
Delicately brushing away the dust and then hoisting off a heavy limestone cover, archaeologists in Egypt on Friday uncovered the mummified body of a Pharaonic palace chief thought to be more than 2,400 years old.
The encased mummy was found at the end of a long tunnel at Abu Sir, 12 miles (20 kilometres) south of Cairo.
It's only the third sealed tomb uncovered in Egypt and while no treasures were found with the sarcophagus, the find is thought to be important.
It's believed it could shed light on burial practices and religious beliefs in the early Persian period of Egyptian history,
Beneath the sands and the Saqqara pyramids at Abu Sir lies the tomb of Iufaa.
It was discovered in 1996 by a team from the Czech Institute of Egyptology but the sarcophagus inside has lain untouched - until now..
On hand to witness the unveiling were the Egyptian Minister of Culture, as well as senior antiquities officials.
The sarcophagus was discovered when the tomb was unearthed, but it was left alone because conditions in the shaft were dangerous.
Now the walls of the 28 metre tunnel into the sands have been reinforced, letting Egyptian and Czech archaeologists uncover the hidden treasures of Abu Sir.
Gently brushing away sand and dirt so the lid could be lifted, the 2,400 year old mummy was finally revealed.
While no treasures were with the coffin, the find is thought to be important because of the details it could yield about a little known period in Egyptian history.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
The sands of Abu Sir revealed important secrets of the tomb of
Iufaa that really is one of the tombs in the cemetery of the 26th
dynasty with the rebirth of Egyptian civilization, because this
period they imitated art of the old kingdom, the middle kingdom and
the new kingdom; and this person was an important person, was the
one in charge of the palace of the king and this is why we always
believe that we never know what the sands of Egypt might hide of
secrets; this is the most new secret that has been discovered in
Egypt.
SUPER CAPTION: Dr.Zahi Hawass, Giza Antiquities Director
The tomb is also important because it's 50 years since a similar intact burial of this type has been discovered and only the third in Egypt's history.
The walls of the tomb and the sarcophagus are of special interest, because they are covered with hieroglyphs which repeat the spells and invocation prayers of the ancient pyramid texts that earlier had been reserved only for the tombs of Old Kingdom rulers.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
The discovery of the shaft tomb of Iufaa dating from the end of
the 26th, the beginning of the 27th dynasty is very important for
the history if ancient Egypt. We found a number of very interesting
important inscriptions covering about 65 square metres of the tomb's
walls. But as I told you, we are at the beginning of the work and
there's still is a long way ahead of us to assess all the material.
SUPER CAPTION: Dr. Mersolav Verner, Head of the Czech expedition
A protective roof has been built over the tomb and a side shaft opened to prevent humidity causing too much damage.
Now officials are preparing for the next danger as the secrets of Abu Sir become Egypt's latest tourist attraction.

The Pyramids of Egypt
The Egyptian pyramids are ancient pyramid-shaped masonry structures located in Egypt. As of November 2008, sources cite either 118 or 138 as the number of identified Egyptian pyramids. Most were built as tombs for the country's pharaohs and their consorts during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods.
Ancient Egyptian pyramids are the most well known pyramid structures.
Most Ancient Egyptian pyramids were built as tombs for Pharaohs and their families.
Over 130 pyramids have been discovered in Egypt.
The first Egyptian pyramid is believed to be the Pyramid of Djoser, it was built in Saqqara around 4650 years ago (2640 BC).
Saqqara is a huge ancient burial ground built near the Egyptian city of Memphis.
The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and largest of three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis.
Also known as the Pyramid of Khufu, it is the oldest of the Ancient Wonders of the World and the last one still largely intact.
For over 3800 years, the Great Pyramid of Giza was the tallest man made structure in the world.
Although it has lost around 10 metres (33 feet) in height, it still stands around 146 metres (480 feet) above the ground.
As well as Giza and Saqqara, important Egyptian Pyramid sites include Dashur, Abusir, Meidum, Lisht, Abu Rawash and others.
Nearly all Egyptian Pyramids are located on the west bank of the Nile.
Egyptian Pyramids often contain multiple chambers and passages.
Bodies placed in the tombs were preserved by mummification.
Egyptians buried their dead with burial goods that ranged from everyday items they believed would useful in the afterlife to more expensive items such as jewelry.
Tomb robbers targeted many of the royal tombs and most were eventually robbed.
One tomb that was left largely intact was that of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings. Rediscovered in 1922 by Howard Carter, this famous tomb is best known for the solid gold funerary mask of Tutankhamun.
Tutankhamun was a pharaoh from 1332 BC to 1323 BC

EGYPT: Luxor Temple
Luxor Temple is a large Ancient Egyptian temple complex located on the east bank of the Nile River in the city today known as Luxor (ancient Thebes). It was constructed approximately 1400 BCE.
Unlike the other temples in Luxor, Luxor temple is not dedicated to a cult god or a deified version of the king in death. Instead Luxor temple is dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship; it may have been where many of the kings of Egypt were crowned.
To the rear of the temple are chapels built by Amenhotep III of the 18th Dynasty, and Alexander. Other parts of the temple were built by Tutankhamun and Ramesses II. During the Roman era, the temple and its surroundings were a legionary fortress and the home of the Roman government in the area. During the Roman period a chapel inside the Luxor Temple originally dedicated to goddess Mut was transformed in to a Tetrarchy cult chapel and later in to a church.
Luxor temple was built with sandstone. This sandstone from the Gebel el-Silsila region, which is located in South-Western Egypt, is referred to as Nubian Sandstone. This sandstone was used for the construction for monuments in Upper Egypt as well as in the course of past and current restoration works.
The Avenue of Sphinxes that links the Luxor and Karnak temples is being restored.
The Mosque of Abu Haggag stands atop the ruins of Luxor Temple, just inside the entrance.
