Puzzles pyramid Sneferu
Thus, an Egyptian pyramid, which is always a lot of debate and admiration. The theme is not new, but still interesting material, because this pyramid is closed to visitors, and is unlikely to be open. Bent Pyramid Egyptian king Sneferu, who is also the father of Khufu (Cheops), is far from the city, in the sands of Dahshur. Interested in this pyramid its shape, which could appear as an architect on a plan, and as a result the necessary measures due to errors in construction or other force majeure.
Characteristics of the Bent Pyramid:
Height: 105 m
Length of the base: 188 m
Perimeter: 754 m
Area: 35,570 m2
Volume: 1,237,040 m3
Tilt angle: 54 ° 34 'and 43 ° 21'
The error of the orientation of the pyramid sides ~ 9'12 ''
1 entrance on the north side - at a height of 11 m
2 entrance on the west side - at a height of 33 m
The lower church: 700 m from the pyramid
Thus, the maximum photo-passage
50 photos.
Yes, the pyramid of interesting and unusual ... a lot written about it ...

We have a pyramid and companion: it is also interesting as the architectural structure.
Besides this interesting pyramid design cameras / passes, which puts it in second place on the complexity of the pyramid after his son, the Great.
Open and closed portkulisy, two corridors leading to the side of the pyramid, etc.
So, we are on the north side of the entrance, which is located at 11 meters from the ground.
To him is a huge staircase built recently.
Entrance to the pyramid, modern iron door
We start the descent. Until recently, there was no railing or deck. Now, as in open pyramids normal descent.
Visible masonry, processing quality, mortar, cracks in the rocks
The pyramid was built (by hypothesis) in three stages. Here is the place the boundary between two phases, increasing the width of the base and a bit angle.
Corridor length of almost 80 meters, at the bottom goes into the antechamber
Antechamber is narrow and high chamber with a vaulted ceiling. Previously led up a stone staircase. We climb the wooden. Fairly steep ascent. Already heard the rustle of wings at the top of bats.
We are rising to the lower chamber of the pyramid.
From a distance, looks like antechamber. At the bottom of the ladder by which we climbed, more visible corridor. Beams modern - as spacers inserted in order to avoid deformation of rocks. At the top of the vaulted ceiling, which is home to bats.
On the south side of the lower chamber there is a small room. It is a narrow, high, vaulted ceiling, there is a window and traces portkulisy (locking system)
In the middle of the lower chamber - a huge construction ladder. Several years ago, the ceiling were wobbly ladders and stairs, and now much more comfortable ascent)
Chamber wall in the cracks, the state as if after the earthquake. Are the ruins of the mortar.
On the ceiling, at a height of about 12-15 meters, the entrance to the corridor, that we should go further
We climb higher, there stunning views of the camera
View to the north side
View of the eastern side of the lower chamber
When they reached the top, we find ourselves at the beginning of the connecting corridor
Very dusty narrow passage
... Pass slightly raised and bent
Protruding parts of which can hit your head
Selected from the passage (he right in the photo) and find ourselves in the main corridor of the pyramid
In the west - portkulisa. It is omitted, but managed to make it through the pass (hypothesis). In front of her is a huge and deep niche, covered with boards to pass.
Portkulisa placed in a narrow room with a vaulted ceiling. Here balances portkulisy, full of garbage and bats.
Now we turn from the connecting tunnel to the left, to the east. Corridor goes the distance.
We pass to the east portkulise. It is not closed, and is backed by the beam.
When you're not closed under portkulisoy little uncomfortable. Drop it flatten into a pancake man.
Interesting fact: the surface portkulisy very well treated (with respect to other elements of the Bent Pyramid).
Go ahead. Another niche. It seems like it is here somewhere
Sneferu was find a cartouche. Looked under the niche. Remains of an ancient red paint, solution ... a feeling that the more there is a passage, but it is littered with ...
It is unclear what these niches ...
We did not notice as it appears in the upper chamber. But to get further, we must once again take advantage of climbing stairs.
First climb the big "partition", there is another staircase.
Climbing higher, look back: partition divides the chamber into two parts.
Climb to the top, the so-called array. He's tall and partitions off the upper chamber into two parts. You got out with this part
On the other hand - a stunner. Huge and deep freezer, vaulted ceiling. The design of the cameras - cedar beams. Those same beams that Sneferu brought from Lebanon. The camera itself is still the puzzle as to what you need.
Beams like ornament camera or frame. A feeling that the camera takes three floors.
Top left - marking the ancient builders. On the walls are many mice.
Massive cedars like mounted in the clutch.
On the cracked rocks (and in between), which are covered with country allocated (as in the red pyramid), sitting mouse.
Under the ceiling, at the top - inserted beam. Really, to lift / move the sarcophagus? Which, by the way, and there was no trace of the pyramid.
Now we need to go back to the west side to something else where slazit. We climb through for portkulisu. Before us is a niche, we will go through or along the edge, or on the board. Next - West Corridor, the length of 60 meters, which is on the west side of the pyramid.
The corridor is made rude, menyat tilt angle. Many "construction" of debris and dust.
Many mice were closer to the light (breathe fresh air?), When I climbed, they decided to go back into the bowels of the pyramid. Someone hit the shot. Someone in my head, hands, feet hitting the ... me, they fell into dust, floundering and then flew headlong away.
Now you can see the light. Stones have become smoother and legs became slide ... But the rope rescues the situation.
It is tied to the bar in the window
Ah, here stunning views of the Sands Dahshur
And Dahshursky necropolis where you can see the Red Pyramid.
Scheme, where there is a window of 33 meters.
In the pyramid a lot of dust
During that turn pictures and stuff))
Well, I sobsno)
