In the necropolis of Sakkara in Egypt, archaeologists discovered the tomb of Prince Waser-If-Re, and the doors of the tomb turned out to be pink and cannot be opened in any way.
“It is an unusual door that leads nowhere, the first of its kind in terms of material and size, discovered in ancient Egypt. The tomb belongs to the son of King Userkaf, who founded the fifth dynasty of Egypt and lived about 4,400 years ago,” the scientists explained.
These turned out to be fake pink granite doors, nearly a meter wide, covered with hieroglyphic engravings containing numerous titles of Prince Waser-If-Re, such as “crown prince”, “royal scribe”, “vizier”, “judge”, “governor of Buto and Neheba” and “singer priest”, reports Noi.md with reference to .
The ancient Egyptians believed that false doors were entrances to the spirit realm, through which the soul could pass between the world of the living and the afterlife.
In the tomb, archaeologists found 13 high-backed chairs and statues carved from pink granite, which, according to scientists, are representations of the prince’s wives.
“In addition, the tomb had a second entrance, made of pink granite, with the cartouche of King Neferirkare, which indicates that this place remained important during different dynasties,” the specialists added.
