History
Giza, Saqqara and Memphis form a continuum of ancient Egyptian urban and mortuary development—Saqqara’s step pyramid predates Giza and shows an early move to monumental stone construction.
Conservation
Visitor pressure, erosion and unmanaged foot traffic threaten fragile stone and pigments; follow marked paths, avoid touching carvings and support local conservation fees when offered.
