An announcement was made on Tuesday, Nov 11 at a site in Saqqara, Egypt, about 22 miles south of Cairo, on the findings of a 4,300-year-old pyramid.The discovery was found two months ago.
It is said to belong to Queen Sesheshet, the mother of King Teti who was the founder of the 6th Dynasty of Egypt's Old Kingdom.
The finding is rather significant in the world of archaeology.
The Egyptian archaeologist Zahi Hawass told reporters that the finding could lay the foundation to enrich generations to come with knowledge about the Old Kingdom.
"The only queen whose pyramid is missing is Shesheshet, which is why I am sure it belonged to her," Hawass said. "This will enrich our knowledge about the Old Kingdom."
So, if traveling to the ends of the Earth is your thing in life than pack your bags.
Once the site is excavated and all antiquities identified the artifacts will surely be made public.
Perhaps the site will be made available for touring.
A visit into the past worth taking a vacation for.
Thank For Flying :)
