Did you know there were over 100 ancient Egyptian pyramids?  Here is a bit more information about the region from wikipedia:

As of November 2008, there are sources citing both 118 and 138 as the number of identified Egyptian pyramids.^[1][2] Most were built as tombs for the country’s pharaohs and their consorts during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods.

The earliest known Egyptian pyramids are found at Saqqara, northwest of Memphis. The earliest among these is the Pyramid of Djoser (constructed 2630 BC–2611 BC) which was built during the third dynasty. This pyramid and its surrounding complex were designed by the architect Imhotep, and are generally considered to be the world’s oldest monumental structures constructed of dressed masonry.

What do you think about these artifacts?  Do they indicate anything unusual?  Feel free to comment with your theories.
