STONE TOMB OF EGYPTIAN QUEEN

grobowiecThe mausoleum was uncovered by archaeologists from the Czech Institute of Egyptology under the guidance of Dr Miroslav Barta, who are carrying out excavations on the site near Abu-Sir, which is situated southwest of Cairo. For ancient Egyptians this area used to be a funeral complex situated in Memphis, a former capital city.

It is believed that this is a tomb of the wife of Pharaoh Neferefre, who ruled 4,500 ago. Her name (Chentkaus) had been inscribed on the inner walls of the tomb. The scientists identified her as Chentkaus III since there had already been two other Egyptian queens bearing this name. According to the archaeologists, this discovery is important because it will help reveal unknown facts about the Fifth Dynasty. Its representatives, along with the members of the Fourth Dynasty, witnessed the construction of the first pyramids. Archaeologists also found other artefacts, mostly stone utensils made of limestone and a few things made of copper.
