Question: names of five pyramids found in egypt? list the names of 5 pyramids that have been found in egypt

Answer: There are actually over 100 pyramids in Egypt, many of which are relatively unknown to anyone who is not an ancient Egypt enthusiast. \n\nAll but a very few are grouped around and near the City of Cairo, just south of the Nile Delta. Only one royal pyramid is known in southern Egypt (at Abydos), that being the one built by Ahmose, founder of the 18th Dynasty and Egypt's New Kingdom. It may have also been the last royal pyramid built in Egypt.\n\nSmaller pyramids were constructed, for example in the Deir el-Medina necropolis, by private individuals.\n\nHere are some names of pyramids for you:\n\n1.
