Are the pyramids of Giza the same thing as pyramids of Egypt?
No this refers to the complex at Giza the three great pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure plus six other small auxiliary pyramids. There are currently 118 known pyramids in Egypt located in a number of pyramid fields all on the west bank of the River Nile. The German Egyptologist Karl Richard Lepsius (1810-84) produced the first modern list of pyramids in 1842. He identified 67. A great many more have since been discovered. The location of Pyramid 29 for example, the so-called "Headless Pyramid", was lost for a second time when the structure was buried by desert sands subsequent to Lepsius' survey. It was only rediscovered again during an archaeological dig conducted in 2008. Many pyramids are in a poor state of preservation merely piles of rubble or buried beneath the desert sands. As archaeological techniques improve Egyptologists are continuing to identify and study previously unknown pyramid structures. The most recent pyramid to be discovered is that of Queen Sesheshet, mother of 6th Dynasty Pharaoh Teti, located at Saqqara. The discovery was announced by the Egyptian Council of Antiquities, on 11 November 2008.
