Those hieroglyphics look like they were etched by laser. It’s amazing.

This is the capstone of the Black Pyramid built by Amenemhat III, pharaoh of the Twelfth Dynasty of Egypt. He ruled from c. 1860 BC to c. 1814 BC.
The Black Pyramid was the first to house both the deceased pharaoh and his queens.
Today it still stands as a rubble mound.
