VIDEO: Egypt the sustainable culture, a new pyramid discovery
Saqqara - Egypt
Archaeologists have discovered a new pyramid under the sands of Saqqara, an ancient burial site that remains largely unexplored and has yielded a string of unearthed pyramids in recent years, Egypt's antiquities chief announced Tuesday.
4.300 years old pyramid
The 4,300-year-old monument most likely belonged to the queen mother of the founder of Egypt's 6th Dynasty, several hundred years after the building of the famed Great Pyramids of Giza, the country's antiquities chief Zahi Hawass said as he took the media on a tour of the find.
The discovery is part of the sprawling necropolis and burial site of the rulers of ancient Memphis, the capital of Egypt's Old Kingdom, about 19 kilometers (12 miles) south of Giza

They said they are opening it to see the tomb, sarcophagous, etc. Is it true that no Egyptian pyramid has proven to have been a tomb? Of course this is a fairly small pyramid as pyramids go.

Fairbanks..Is it true that no Egyptian pyramid has proven to have been a tomb? My experience in the so called "Valley of the death = Cemetery" at Luxor, yes the tombs with the sarcophagous exist. Many are there 30 or more alone at Luxor. The question is, should we not let them in peace. For their whatsoever believesystem the integrity of the tomb is important.
