In a few sentences

In brief

The funeral ensemble includes more of the most recognizable pyramids.

Useful to know

The site "Memphis and its necropolis" connects the ancient capital with a funerary landscape from Giza to Dahshur. UNESCO lists pyramids, mastabas, rock tombs, and temples. [1]

A picture of a pyramid hides this diversity. For an architectural reading, compare the type of tomb and its relationship to the surrounding buildings. The overhead silhouette does not alone show all the functions of the complex. Viewing a map helps to see the distances and groups of monuments without different necropolises mixing into one imaginary fenced courtyard.
