The Lost Pyramid

On Monday 29th there was a very interesting program on channel 4 regarding the lost pyramid of pharaoh Djedefre. The site where the grandest pyramid of all had once stood is now a mound of rubble. The program set out to explore all the theories of archaeologists working around the site and in connection with it to discern what had happened to the Djedefre's final resting place. I watched the program and there were many interesting elements that were helpful to me such as a brief history of Ancient Egyptian building techniques and their customs around the pyramid after the pharaoh had begun his journey into the afterlife.
