What is important to me is that I have the great good fortune to spend my days doing something I love, and being given the opportunity to make a difference in the world.

This short horizontal passage in the Pyramid of Teti (Sixth Dynasty) at Saqqara leads to the king's burial chamber. The Pyramid Texts can be seen on the walls on either side of the passage, while stars can be seen on the ceiling. The king's sarcophagus can be seen at the end of the room.
