From Hollister:After excavating a site for two years, Egypt's chief archaeologist has announced the discovery of a 4,300-year-old pyramid in Saqqara. The pyramid is the 118th found so far in Egypt. The archaeologist stated that this new find was only made two months ago when the workers were certain that the 16-foot-tall structure uncovered from the sand was a pyramid.
Experts say that the history of the pyramid is known. The pyramid is said to be that of Queen Sesheshet, the mother of King Teti who founded the 6th Dynasty of Egypt's Old Kingdom. It is five metres tall now, but is believed to have been 15 metres tall originally.
