Saqqara
This is the site of the first ever pyramids (step pyramids, not pointed ones) and the first ever buildings made of limestone instead of mud. Designed and built by Imhotep (of "The Mummy" fame) - an architect, astronomer and poet. As opposed to a reawakened demon bent on word domination... (pity!) He wasn't even a priest, so all they really used was his name. And yes, we were allowed to climb on the ruins!
