The Pyramid of Unas, Saqqara
The Pyramid of Unas, located in the necropolis of Saqqara, near Cairo, Egypt, marks a significant evolution in ancient Egyptian funerary practices. Built for Pharaoh Unas, the last ruler of the 5th Dynasty (around 2375-2345 BC), this pyramid is smaller and less imposing than the earlier pyramids at Giza but is historically important for containing the earliest known collection of the Pyramid Texts, the oldest religious texts in the world.
