Noble's tomb found in Saqqara

[Eldorado]

"An Egyptian archaeological mission has discovered the tomb of a Fifth Dynasty dignitary named Khuwy during an excavation and documentation survey carried out in south Saqqara, and has also discovered the name of the queen to whom a pyramid complex in the area belonged.

The tomb consists of a superstructure with an L-shaped offering chamber, which was once decorated with reliefs. Only the bottom part of this decoration is preserved, as the white limestone blocks of the other parts were re-used in the construction of other buildings in antiquity."

"Among the discoveries of the team was also the name of a queen, Sebtihor, apparent wife of Djedkare, to whom an previously-anonymous pyramid complex in the area belonged to and whose identity had remained a mystery for scholars up until now."

It's a bit of a fixer-upper, but a carpet with underlay and a tin of magnolia should do the trick.

Interesting find!  The lead guy for the search has a name you couldn't make up to be more humorous today:  

Mohamed Megahed, head of the archaeological mission

Part of me says: Leave them buried. Respect. Another part of me says: Dig that up and study it.
