    Default Into Menkaure !!

    The Pyramid of Menkaure is the smallest of the three, largest being Khufu and the second Khafre. The little one still is one impressive sight.

    You can enter any of the pyramids and descend to the burial chamber, not easily. The tunnel is wide but very short and you can't stand, also its steep. I went down the little pyramid and my legs got very tired ... glad didn't go in one of the others. btw Khufu was close for cleaning and Khafre had just been cleaned and had a strong ammonia smell !!!

    Comments welcomed and much appreciated

    Hi Alfred,
    Very nice image, and quite nostalgic as it reminds me of a great trip to Egypt back in my film days. Never have digitized those images, but you may inspire me to work up a few.

    Hope you will share more here.
