How do you lose a pyramid?“On a good day, the Pyramid is a morbid wonder...
today, it’s suffocating.
Both inside and out.
I don’t need to be toiling up the claustrophobic lengths of its corridors and galleries, with walls that seem to be sweating under the crushing weight of stone above, to feel it.
Just standing in front of the myriad layers of blocks - horror heaped upon stone horror - hazing upwards to the heavens, is enough.
The scale of its disregard for human misery is breathtaking in itself.
All of which makes it quite hard to believe that pyramids ever came to be lost at all, yet lost some were…
In fact, they keep turning up today.
Astonishingly, a new, unknown pyramid was discovered not so long ago on the
highly excavated Giza plateau, of all places, in the immediate area of the Great
Pyramid of Khufu.
A ruined pyramid, yet three courses of limestone remained. It was only discovered
by accident.
Egypt's ninety-sixth pyramid, built in the time of the Queens’ pyramids, lay hidden by
an asphalt road running alongside Khufu's monument.
If a road can hide a pyramid on an overworked plateau like Giza, what can the
shifting sand of the desert hide?”
