Lost Pyramid Rediscovered in Egypt

Saqqara, Egypt

In 1842, German archaeologist Karl Richard Lepsius recorded the existence of "pyramid 29," or "the headless pyramid" in Saqqara, Egypt. It is believed to be the tomb of little-known Pharaoh Menkauhor, who ruled for less than a decade 4,000 years ago. The sands of the desert buried the pyramid soon after Lepsius's discovery, and it remained hidden for over a century.

Egypt's antiquities chief, Zahi Hawass, has rediscovered the lost pyramid after he and his team removed a 25-foot mountain of sand over the last year and a half.

Also discovered by Hawass's team is a ceremonial processional road leading to the lost pyramid, which, according to Hawass, "[A]dds an important part to our knowledge of the Old Kingdom and its rituals."
