	The Pyramid of Teti - Crystalinks
		Teti was the founder of the 6th Dynasty (2345-2181 BC).
		His pyramid was discovered in 1853 by Mariette, but it is mostly a pile of rubble in constant danger of being covered by the sand.
		The queen was the mother of Teti's heir, King Pepi I. Historians believe that she is the one that gave him the royal power.

		The materials and methods of construction used in the earliest pyramids have ensured their survival in a generally much better state of preservation than is the case with the pyramid monuments of later pharaohs.
		This pyramid was also the subject of one of antiquities' earliest restoration attempts, conducted under the auspices of one of the sons of Ramesses II.
		The pyramid of Senusret II at el-Lahun is the southernmost royal-tomb pyramid structure in Egypt.

	Egyptian pyramids - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Paradoxically, the materials and methods of construction used in the earliest pyramids have ensured their survival in a generally much better state of preservation than is the case with the pyramid monuments of later pharaohs.
		Originally it was thought that this pyramid had never been completed, but the current archaeological consensus is that not only was it completed, but that it was originally about the same size as the Pyramid of Menkaure — the third largest of the Giza pyramids.
		The pyramid at Meidum is one of three constructed during the reign of Sneferu, and is believed by some to have been commenced by that pharaoh's father and predecessor, Huni.

	EgyptSites - Teti
		Teti was the first king of Dynasty VI and is the owner of the most northerly of the Saqqara pyramids, situated to the north-east of the Step Pyramid complex.
		Archaeologists suggest that her tomb was altered from a mastaba to a small pyramid by her son, a conclusion reached by the fact that although there was a small chapel on the northern side, there was no entrance there, but a vertical shaft led to the burial chamber from the second layer of the structure.
		Teti's pyramid complex is surrounded by mastaba tombs of the officials of his reign, including the largest of the Saqqara tombs belonging to the vizier Mereruka, who was married to the King's eldest daughter.

		The Pyramid of Teti at Saqqara in Egypt
		The small hill in the main Saqqara pyramid field with a panoramic view of the whole necropolis is actually the pyramid of Teti, the first ruler of Egypt's 6th Dynasty, even though he was possibly the son of Unas, the last ruler of the 5th Dynasty.
		Teti's valley temple and the three hundred meter long causeway leading to the mortuary temple have not been archaeologically investigated, but are located not to the east but to the southwest of the pyramid.

	Teti
		Teti further strengthened his hold on power by seeking support of the nobility in the country - the Nomarchs, he married his daughter Seshseshet to the vizier Mereruka - later to be Chief Priest of Teti's pyramid complex (Mereruka's masataba tomb lies close to Teti's pyramid).

		Teti's basalt sarcophagus still remains inside the pyramid (it is inscribed with a single band of Pyramid Texts) - it's size indicates that it was placed in the pyramid at the time of the pyramid's construction.

	Pyramid of Teti
		The pyramid of Teti, the first pharaoh of the 6th Dynasty, suffered enormous damage from quarrymen who removed not only the covering and a good part of the blocks of granite in the adjacent funerary temple, but also the limestone slabs within the monument.
		The walls of the inner chambers are decorated, as in the 5th Dynasty pyramid of Unas, with hieroglyphic inscriptions, a good portion of which were smashed by stone quarrymen.
		The burial chamber, vestibule and entrance corridor of the pyramid of Teti are inscribed with the Egyptian funerary texts known as the Pyramid Texts following the example set by Unas.

	The Pyramid designed as an Architectural Manifestation of the Duat
		Pyramids built after Khufu's that were inscribed with text describe the King's desire to unite with the Sun-God Re in death and travel in the solar bark either as Re, or as himself united with Re.
		The transition is clearer in the pyramid of Teti, and to a lesser extent those of Pepi I and II, where the passage between the sarcophagus Chamber/Duat and the antechamber/Akhet is devoted to spells of passage through the marshland at the western edge of the Akhet.
		The pyramid complex was, in one sense, a temple complex to the Horus-Osiris divinity, merged with the sun god in the central icon of the pyramid...(the pyramid was the) embodiment of light and shadow: and the union of heaven and earth, encapsulating the mystery of death and rebirth."

	Why were the Pyramids built?
		Apocryphal tales of pyramid riches abound, such as Masoudi's description of early plunderers of the Great Pyramid: "They also discovered, in a large hall, a quantity of golden coins put up in columns, every piece of which was of the weight of 1,000 dinars [c.
		The "Pyramid Age" reached its apex at the beginning of the 4th Dynasty with the construction of the pyramids at Dashur and Giza, but by the end of that dynasty, pyramids had become smaller until its last pharaoh, Shepseskaf, reverted to the mastaba shape for his tomb.
		In any case, that the pyramids were tombs is clear, and to deny this observation is to ignore a substantial body of corroborating evidence.

	Egypt Pyramids Index
		In Egypt, all but a select few of the pyramids were built as tombs, sometimes to hold the physical body of a pharaoh (as well as other individuals), or to hold the soul of the deceased (as in the case of the small cult pyramids built next to the larger ones).
		This also connected the pyramid to Re, the Sun God, as it was he, according to some of the ancient Egypt mythology, who rose from the primeval mound to create life.
		Royal pyramid complexes included the main pyramid, a courtyard surrounding the main pyramid, a much smaller cult pyramid for the king's soul, a mortuary temple situated next to the main pyramid, an enclosure wall and a causeway that led down to a valley temple.

		Some of the blocks of the outer casing are still in place on the East side of the pyramid, but the rest has been carried away over the centuries by stone-robbers, causing the core masonry to be exposed and crumble down into the rounded mound of stones seen today.

	The Pyramid Texts: Introduction
		Thus, the pyramid of Unis has only two hundred and eight utterances out of a total of over seven hundred and thirty; and they with those of the pyramid of Teti are among the oldest in the collection.
		The Pyramid Texts were largely solar, but long before the texts were inscribed in the pyramids of Saḳḳâreh, there existed Osirian texts as well as Solar ones, though there is reason to believe that the learned men and scribes of Heliopolis were the first to make collections of their texts.
		They were those inscribed on the walls of the sarcophagus chamber of the pyramid of Pepi I. Following that, he found texts in the pyramids of Unis of the Fifth Dynasty, as well as in the pyramids of Teti, Merenrē‘, and Pepi II, in addition to Pepi I, all of the Sixth Dynasty.
