Egyptologists are now inclined to believe that the essential parts of this ritual date back as far as the Memphite period.

But the pyramid properly speaking was confined to the Memphite period.

Almost all the peculiarities of the Memphite tomb are to be explained by the hypotheses with which primitive man is content.
