The vast expanse of golden sand stretches out as far as the eye can see, punctuated by the occasional rocky outcropping or the silhouette of ancient structures rising from the desert floor. Saqqara, located in the northern part of Africa, is a historical site that offers an overview of Egypt's rich past. This desertic region, characterized by its aridity, has been inhabited since prehistoric times, with evidence of human activity dating back to around 30,000 BC. The ancient Egyptians, renowned for their architectural prowess, built numerous temples, tombs, and pyramids in this area, many of which have withstood the test of time. The geology of Saqqara is equally intriguing. The landscape is composed of various types of sedimentary rocks, including limestone, sandstone, and shale.
