Description

Based on the hieroglyphs of the ancient Egypt, we believe that one of the main reasons they choose a pyramid for a death-chamber for the farao was because the shape should work like a stair to heaven/next world, after death.

This is the second largest one, it is the son of the then ruling farao. The son was not allowed to build a larger pyramid then his father, so instead he made them build it on a higher ground level/cliff, that way making it look equally big from a distance.

Technical info: Taken handheld with a digicamera, jpg , underexposed by 1-5. It would be close to impossible to use a tripod there, because of all the people. And handheld is much more fun.

Worked on the image in photoshop CS2 to bring out the under or overexposed areas. Might look a tad over the top for some, but i wanted it to reflect the impression the trip was. :aww:
