We owe a great deal to Agatha Christie, one of the greatest writers, especially in crime fiction. Agatha first visited Egypt in 1908, a 17-year-old travelling to to Cairo for the winter social season. Agatha describes Egypt as “a dream of delight”, we agree, it is just that! Happy birthday Agatha!

Today, a visit to the Step Pyramid at Saqqara. Egypt’s first pyramid. Built around 2,630 BC, by the architect Imhotep as a royal tomb for King Djoser of the Third Dynasty (Old Kingdom). #Archaeology
The photograph shows the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, Egypt. I am standing in the foreground, wearing a black sleeveless T-shirt, green satin skirt, and a black and white scarf blowing in the breeze, turning to look back at the Step Pyramid.

The Step Pyramid at Saqqara is Egypt’s first pyramid and the world’s first monumental cut stone building. Built around 2,630 BC, by the architect Imhotep as a royal tomb for King Djoser of the Third Dynasty (Old Kingdom).

“White-out” has been necessary for scribes for a long time, it seems. A page from the Book of the Dead penned by royal scribe, Ramose (1290-1278BCE) had a huntite and calcite mix to correct illustrations, say Cambridge’s Fitzwilliam Museum.
