Archeaologists have discovered what appears to be the first attempt at a smooth-sided pyramid in Egypt. The pyramid is estimated to be 3,700 years old (about 200 years older than Giza), and although no elaborately-outfitted burial chambers have been found yet, the team is still excavating in an attempt to determine the full size of the pyramid. According to the Associated Press, it's located 20 miles south of Cairo in the sleepy burial community of the Dahshur necropolis, which has long been home to graves of royal courtiers and other high-society movers and shakers.

This article contains several inconsistencies. The posted image is from the substructure of “13th Dynasty king Ameny Qemau (ca. 1790 B.C.)… first recorded by a 15th-century Arab historian”, rediscovered in 1957 and again in 2017. The pyramids at Giza were built over the span of three generations around 2500 B.C., making them approximately 800 years older.
