Talking Pyramids

This week’s photo of the week is of the boat pit that lies beside the Unas Pyramid’s causeway, or processional ramp.

Unas Boat Pit

One of two, this boat pit is 44m long and is located 150m away from the remains of the funeral temple. Lined with limestone blocks these boat pits are thought to have been simulacra of solar boats.
