Burial Chamber Found of Pharaoh Who Ruled Egypt 4700 Years Ago
Cairo reports the discovery of an unmolested royal burial chamber at Sakara near Giza. Egyptologist Zakaria Goneim says the king is likely from the third dynasty, possibly a successor of Zoser, with a redolent cache of vases, papyri, and a gilded coffin yet to be opened. The find is described as older and more significant than the Cheops tomb discovery a week earlier. The chamber appears intact with artifacts surrounding the alabaster sarcophagus and a gold coffin expected inside.
