Saqqara uncovers Sakhentiu-Ptah cemetery
The Egyptian archaeological mission in the Saqqara archaeological area has uncovered a tomb dating back to the Old Kingdom period called "Sakhenet-ib-Ptah," along with a system of burial pits containing numerous concealed artifacts and archaeological finds. The excavations have revealed that the site was used continuously across various historical eras, indicating its significant cultural and funerary importance. The discoveries include an integrated set of funeral ritual tools made of alabaster, along with the names and titles of the tomb owner, providing valuable information about burial practices and burial methods during that period. The excavations also uncovered hundreds of shabti figurines, stone coffins, and pottery vessels, with remnants of ancient looting, suggesting that the cemetery may have been reused over time. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the site's historical and funerary development, as ongoing scientific studies of the discoveries aim to glean more information about the rituals and divine mysteries of ancient Egypt.
