SAQQARA Here is the famous step pyramid at Saqqara. What I was really looking for here was the ancient Temple of Melchizedek, the home of the White Ptah. All that remains of it is a small piece of the base of a column.

I've always been close to Ptah. I was deeply touched to be here. This was the only statue of Ptah that I could find. But I did buy three small statues of him at the souvenir stands.
