Egyptian archaeologists uncover 4300-year-old Saqqara pyramid
At Saqqara, Zahi Hawass announces a new 16-foot tall base structure buried under 65 feet of sand. The pyramid likely belonged to Queen Sesheshet, mother of the 6th Dynasty founder, built after the Great Pyramids. The site, part of Memphis necropolis, yields white limestone casing fragments and confirms a 45-foot original height. Hawass notes the find boosts Saqqara’s 12th pyramid discovery in the area.
