When I was in Egypt a few weeks ago I saw the new blocks with relief scenes
that the Antiquities workers were uncovering in the loose sand along the
upper part of the Sahure causeway.  Apparently they have just turned over
one that shows the dragging in and dedication of the pyramidian (pyramid
capstone).  The pyramidian itself is not shown, but the dragging in and
dedication cemermony is, at least in part.  The Czech team is now making
facsimiles. Meanwhile, at Giza, Zahi Hawass has just found the capstone of
the small satellite pyramid located just south of the Khufu Mortuary Temple
and just north of his southernmost Queen's Pyramid, GI-c.  So its been a
capital season for the points of pyramids!
