An archaeological expedition to the Saqqara necropolis, south of Cairo, made a unique discovery-the lost tomb of the ancient Egyptian Prince Waser-If -re, the son of Pharaoh Userkaf, the first leader of the dynasty of VA.
The entrance to the tomb was hidden behind a false massive door, made of pink granite, according to the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities in Egypt.
This door has become the main sensation of discovery: its height is 4.5 meters, the width exceeds 1.2 meters, and the archaeologists have not found so far as large and well preserved by this kind, reports Noi.md with reference to.
The surface of the granite plate is covered with hieroglyphs with a complete list of Waser-IF-re titles, including “inheriting prince” and “leader”.
Inside the tomb were found artifacts dating from different historical periods. The most significant were the statues of King Djoser, his wife and the ten daughters. The researchers believe that these sculptures were initially located near Djoser’s pyramid, but were later moved to Waser-IF-re grave for unknown reasons.
