The Bent Pyramid is not the most attractive Pyramid around and is called such due to the change in angle of the sides. They got to a certain height and found that it was not stable. So they changed the angle to that of the Pyramids that we recognise at Giza.
Due to the shape, the Pharaoh at the time had another Pyramid built for himself to use.
Here we are at the Bent Pyramid in Dahshur, south of Cairo.

It is difficult for us to appreciate the need of the people in Egypt. There are desperate for food that they are prepared to fish in almost any water. This Canal which runs from the Nile river has in other locations plenty of rubbish, and the colour of the water left a lot to be desired when it comes to obtaining a food source. Yet they did.
Even in Cairo there are pockets of farms still operating. This one alongside the Nile River appears to support a number of families. In the background you can see the City of Cairo.
