                                                 The sound of holding on — almost a whisper
                                           The sigh of broken hearts — a quiet cry
                                   The rain upon your face
                           Brings gravity and grace
                      And softly you begin to breath again

                                         I don't have all the answers to your sad prayers
                                   But if I could I'd give you angel's wings
                           To go where hope is found
                     With strength to reach beyond
              And carries like a song upon the wind

                                 Please don't give up
                             Please don't you give up
                     Cuz I believe
               Yes, I believe
        I still believe... in us

                           The sound of holding on — almost a whisper
                     The sigh of broken hearts — a quiet cry
             The rain upon your face
       Brings gravity and grace
And softly you begin to breath again

                                                     Almost A Whisper

                                                                       (1990)

The Step Pyramid at Saqqara;   Egypt;  November  2005

 

 The earliest form of pyramid, the step, dates back to the 3rd Dynasty, and consists of several steps.
A descending passage from the north leads to the buriel chamber. Underground galleries surround the pyramid on all but the south sides.
The first, and probablythe only step pyramid ever completed, is that of King Netjerykhet Djoser at Saqqara.
The Step pyramid is not near as pleasing to the eye as the True pyramid, which could explain the quick abandonment of this type of pyramid.

The Pyramid of Djoser, was built for the Pharaoh Djoser by his architect Imhotep.
It was constructed during the 27th century BC at the Saqqara necropolis to the northwest of the city of Memphis.

This first Egyptian pyramid consisted of mastabas (of decreasing size) built atop one another in what were clearly revisions and of the original plan.
The pyramid originally stood 62 meters tall and was clad in polished white marble.
The step pyramid (or proto-pyramid) is considered to be the earliest large-scale stone construction.
