Antica Simmetria di Saqqara is inspired by the Egyptian necropolis and the sublimation methods of ancient Egyptian people in relation to the ambient and natural aesthetics.

Saqqara is a vast necropolis located in Egypt 30 km south of the modern city of Cairo.

Although it hosts many funerary complexes, the most important and famous is the step pyramid of Djoser of the 3rd dynasty, considered the oldest of the pyramids and the forerunner of what would later become, with the 4th dynasty, the so-called perfect pyramids.

Name “Saqqara” derives from the name of the nearby present-day Arab village; However, it is controversial whether this name does not in turn derive from that of the ancient deity Sokar, which would be in line with the sepulchral choice, or rather from the name of an Arab tribe, the Beni Soqar, who had chosen the area as its permanent headquarters.

This area have originally been chosen by officials and dignitaries of the 1st dynasty, who erected their enormous mastabas here (so much so that for a long time it was believed that they were royal burials), but there were quite a few kings of the Old Kingdom who they chose this necropolis for their burials, perhaps due to its proximity to the newly founded capital Memphis.
