An Egyptian archaeological mission has uncovered the Old Kingdom tomb of “Sekhentyu-Ptah” at the Bubasteion Necropolis in Saqqara, together with a network of burial shafts containing remarkable finds.
Inside the tomb, archaeologists discovered a funerary chapel with its false door still in its original position, along with inscribed alabaster ritual objects bearing the tomb owner’s name and titles.
The site also revealed more than 100 faience ushabti figurines, colorful funerary cartonnage, three sealed stone sarcophagi, a wooden falcon statue, pottery, and human burials.
The inscriptions show that Sekhentyu-Ptah held several high-ranking positions in the royal administration, offering valuable new insight into life and burial traditions during Ancient Egypt’s Old Kingdom.
✨ Another exciting discovery proving that Egypt’s history is still being uncovered.
