Magnificent sculptures and azure stone walls are among the hallmarks of the South Tomb.

Djoser, Egypt’s 19th king, is supposed to have reigned for nineteen years. He is known for his use of stone construction and his particular architect Imhotep, according to historians.
The South Tomb’s exterior is a perfect demonstration of the ancient World construction. Visitors approach through a big rectangular door and descend ninety-eight feet to a maze of hallways underneath.

The tomb has a burial place, although it is thought to be much too narrow to be anything other than ceremonial. After an earthquake in 1992, the South Tomb was destroyed, but it had been pummeled by vast desert climate conditions. Renovation commenced in 2006, according to Egypt’s Ministry of Antiquities and Tourism.

Egypt has promoted a slew of archaeological and anthropological discoveries in an attempt to resurrect its crucial tourism sector, which had been severely harmed by the unrest that preceded the 2011-2012 revolt. The widespread coronavirus epidemic inflicted significant damage to the industry.
