What does as far as timbuktu mean?
Timbuktu is a real place (see link). When used casually as in the question, it usually indicates that a place (or idea, etc.) is unimaginably far away, completely foreign, or unreachable. It means extremely far or a great distance [Edit by Dragongirl515: According to a popular etymology it`s name is made of tin-meaning "Place". And buktu- meaning an old woman who was entrusted with un-wanted belongines. When a traveler was asked where he left his belongins he would say "I left them at tin buktu." Meaning where the buktu lived. The two words ended up fusing into Timbuktu. Then were translated in the Berber languages: "Buqt" meaning "Far away" so tin-buqt means a place close to the end of the world. IE the Sahara desert. [end edit]
What was the pit in the pyramid used for?
The pit is a chamber that has still underneath it a sealed off shaft that leads to a tomb chamber. When they place a mummy in the tomb chamber with his furniture, they seal the shaft entrance, leaving only a floor of the pit. You can see the design in the Mastabas. I am still not sure why they did not dig yet under the pit. Probably there is water and it can collapse the pyramid.
