Egypt reveals ancient treasures found at the Saqqara necropolis
Jan 18, 2021
Egypt uncovered ancient treasures found at the Saqqara archaeological site south of Cairo, including sarcophagi over 3,000 years old, a discovery that will rewrite history.
Saqqara is an immense necropolis of the ancient Egyptian capital of Memphis, a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization World Heritage Site home to more than a dozen pyramids, ancient monasteries, and animal burial sites.
A team overseen by Hawass made the finds near the pyramid of King Teti, the first pharaoh of the Sixth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom.
More than 50 wooden sarcophagi dating back between the (11th century BC to 16th century BC) dating back to the New Kingdom were found in a burial shaft.
