The pyramid of Pharaoh Sahura, who ruled in the 25th century BC, is part of a large tomb.
At the Pyramid of Sahura in the Egyptian province of Giza, a joint Egyptian-German archaeological mission discovered eight previously unknown storage-type chambers. Xinhua reported this in connection with a statement by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.
Mostafa Waziri, secretary general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, called the discovery “extremely important because it sheds light on the interior design of the pyramid complex of King Sahura, the second ruler of Egypt’s Fifth Dynasty, built in 2400 BC.”
He said 3D laser scanning was used to compile detailed maps of the pyramid’s outer and inner spaces and narrow passageways.
He added that the reopened wards will soon be open to the public.
Additionally, said Dr. Muhammad Ismail Khaled, head of the mission, that although the north and south parts of the warehouse area were seriously damaged, especially the ceiling and floor, the remains of the original walls and part of the floor can still be seen.
It was previously reported that at the main entrance to the Great Pyramid of Giza, scientists discovered a hidden corridor nine meters long.
