The obelisk, on its truncated pyramid, represented the Sun-god, and outside the temple wall, near the south side, was placed the most curious of all the furnishings of this curious temple, in the shape of a great boat, built of brick, which bore all the sacred insignia of the Sun-god in his voyage across the heavens. The interior of the temple walls was covered with sculptured scenes of the life created by the god, scenes from the river, the swamps, the fields and the desert, these being the ea...rliest specimens of such mural decorations in any Egyptian temple.
70 PYRAMIDS AND THEIR EXPLORERS The next stage of the Great Pyramid Field is at Saqqara, where the chief feature is the most ancient, and save for the monsters of Gizeh, the most famous of all the pyramids, the Stepped- Pyramid of King Zeser of the Illrd Dynasty, the earliest great stone structure in the world. This remarkable building was probably the work of Zeser's famous counsellor and architect Imhotep, the typical wise man of early Egypt, whose counsel was " as though one inquired at the oracle of God, " and who was subsequently deified and became the patron-deity of the scribes.
