Red Pyramid (North Pyramid)

 Red Pyramid
 The narrow 200 foot shaft that led to the inside of the pyramid. 
The corbel-vaulted ceiling of the main chamber. What does a pyramid smell like on the inside? Ammonia. My guide said the smell is a result of people peeing inside the pyramid and the lack of air circulation. Whatever the cause, it made staying inside the pyramid for too long rather uncomfortable.
Dahshur, Egypt
