Egyptian archaeologists have discovered an ancient pyramid beneath the desert that's thought to be the burial site of the mother of a pharaoh who ruled more than 4,000 years ago. Here, workers dig at the site Tuesday in Saqqara, Egypt, the vast necropolis of the rulers of ancient Memphis. The pyramid is said to belong to Queen Sesheshet, the mother of King Teti who was the founder of the 6th Dynasty of Egypt's Old Kingdom. Egypt's antiquities chief Zahi Hawass made the announcement Tuesday at the site in Saqqara, about 12 miles south of Cairo. Hawass' team has been excavating the site for two years. He says the discovery was only made two months ago when it became clear that the 16-foot-tall structure uncovered from the sand was a pyramid. Hawass says the new pyramid is the 118th discovered so far in Egypt. --------------------------------------- s. e. anderson is author of "The Black Holocaust for Beginners" Social Activism is not a hobby: it's a Lifestyle lasting a Lifetime http://www.blackeducator.org http://blackeducator.blogspot.com --------------------------------------- -- Be Yourself @ mail.com!
