I realize this is a bit coincidental with yesterday's post, but this is fascinating news coming out of Cairo. From National Geographic News article this morning...

"A new pyramid has been discovered deep beneath Egyptian sands, archaeologists announced today. The 4,300-year-old monument is believed to be the tomb of Queen Sesheshet, the mother of Pharaoh Teti, the founder ancient Egypt's 6th dynasty."

"The researchers were somewhat surprised to find a pyramid here, since they thought the area had been exhausted. Archaeologists had already found subsidiary pyramids for Teti's two principal wives Iput I and Khuit, a hundred years ago and in 1994, respectively. Teams have been digging in the area for more than 20 years.

"One hundred years ago they used to take sand and put it in unexcavated areas," Hawass said. "The archaeologists in the past used this area as a location for the sand. No one could think there is anything here." Tomb robbers, however, knew the pyramid was there. Archaeologists found that a shaft had been created to allow access to Sesheshet's funerary chamber."
