Travelers to Egypt will soon be able to explore
the inner chambers of the 'bent' pyramid, in Dahshur,
known for its oddly shaped profile, and other nearby ancient tombs,
Egypt's antiquities chief announced Monday
as part of a new sustainable development campaign
that Egypt hopes will attract more visitors
but also to avoid some of the problems of the urban sprawl
that have plagued the famed pyramids of Giza.
