The ancient site of Saqqara, located 20 miles south of Cairo on the Nile's west bank, where crop fields give way to the desert, is marked by massive pyramids that emerged from the sand like dragon's teeth. The Step Pyramid is the most famous, built in the 27th century B.C. by the Old Kingdom Pharaoh, Djoser, who began building pyramids as monumental royal tombs.

More than a dozen other pyramids are scattered along the five-mile stretch of land, dotted with the ruins of temples, tombs, and walkways that span ancient Egypt's entire history. But there is much more beneath the ground—a vast, extraordinary netherworld of treasures.

We’ll now discuss the discovery of a hidden tomb with perfectly preserved paintings dating back to 4400 years ago. How is this possible? Watch the video below!
