Place : Abusir.
Description : Abusir is the name of this archaeological and Egyptian necropolis. There are 7 pyramids in this sector that were built during the 5th dynasty. The quality of these pyramids is worst compared with the 4th dynasty ; perhaps a sign of royal capacity decline. The three principal pyramids are Nyuserre Ini (the best preserved), Neferirkare and Sahure.
