Abstract
Close-up of the 3D analysis of terrain visibility at Saqqara from the pyramids of Neferirkare, Niuserre, and Sahure at Abusir. A map overlay of Saqqara shows the elite tombs dated to the reigns of Neferirkare, Niuserre, and Sahure (dark blue, light blue, and red polygons) on the left. Those same groups of intense tomb concentration with high visibility of Abusir are circled (in dark blue) on the right, with overlay removed.
