Czech archaeologists have unearthed the tomb of a previously unknown queen believed to have been the wife of Pharaoh Neferefre who ruled 4,500 years ago, officials in Egypt said Sunday.

The tomb was discovered in Abu Sir, an Old Kingdom necropolis southwest of Cairo where there are several pyramids dedicated to pharaohs of the Fifth Dynasty, including Neferefre.

The tomb was discovered in Pharaoh Neferefre's funeral complex.

This is pretty crazy too:

"Sometimes, breaking the law has its perks.

An Egyptian citizen, identified as "Nagy" by Arabic news siteAhram.org, was illegally digging in his backyard when he found a tunnel leading to the Pyramid of Khufu. The pyramid, nicknamed the Great Pyramid, is the oldest and largest of the three Giza Pyramids.

Nagy, a resident of the El Haraneya village, near the Giza Plateau, dug 33 feet beneath his house before he found the corridor, made from stone blocks. Egypt's Ministry of Antiquities sent archaeologists to the scene, and a committee confirmed the passage to be the pyramid's legendary causeway.

Archaeologists have searched for decades for the passage to the pyramid. The causeway is mentioned in the Histories by the Greek Herodotus, who claims to have visited it in the fifth century B.C.E. Herodotus wrote that the passage was enclosed and covered in reliefs, but before Nagy's excavation, only small remnants of the causeway had been found.

The Khufu pyramid complex is known to have connected to an undiscovered temple near the Nile River. Thanks to the new discovery, archaeologists believe the temple may be buried beneath the village of Nazlet el-Samman

They gonna compensate those poor people for being about to get driven out of their own town, or not?

And I guess it's illegal to dig because of how much ancient shyt they know is buried around there, and they don't want just anyone to fukk shyt up?

Also, if the causeway led from a temple to the pyramid, it must have been one hell of a temple to be honored with such a connection. So were they leading religioius tourists to the pyramids even back then, or was there another reason to visit? Was this shyt always underground, which is a feat by itself, or did the desert cover it?

I would hope they'd compensate these people that have been uprooted but as you know they play by a different set of rules out there. Dude was at least arrested according to reports

I think the desert covered up a lot of that site. If you remember the Sphinx was almost completely covered with just the head showing. I also think at those sites certain things are covered up as well to try to keep Egypt connection separated from Africa.

On a side note Germans "vandalized" a portion of the pyramid of Khufu too. I put that in quotes because they scraped off some paint in the pyramid where Khufu's name is written in a small inconspicuous place & the only place where that name was written. This is mainstream Egytptologists "proof" of the date & builder of this pyramid.The Germans wanted to date the paint to see if it was a forgery from someone from modern times.
