For me, archaeology is not a just a job. It combines everything that I could want - imagination, intellect, action, and adventure.

Pyramid Texts in the Pyramid of Teti

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.
