Egypt's Strangest Pyramid
The Pyramid of Lahun – is this the strangest pyramid of all? Rising 160 feet above Egypt’s Western Desert, yet it’s once encircled by water, making it look as if it floats.

The pharaoh uses ground-breaking technology to stop the pyramid from sinking into the wet ground – with the same attention to detail inside, where ancient engineers devise mind-boggling decoys and dead-end tunnels to deter tomb raiders from disturbing the pharaoh’s eternal sleep.
