Hidden Chambers Discovered in the Pyramid of Sahure

October 9, 2023

During the last week of September, an incredible archaeological discovery was announced, from the Old Kingdom, 5th Dynasty Pyramid of Sahure, which dates back to the 24th to 25th century BC.

Yes, a previously undiscovered corridor and series of rooms or magazines have been found leading off from the eastern side of the pyramid’s antechamber.

This is an amazing discovery, but it was actually first noted by John Shae Perring in the 19th Century. The team excavating and renovated the pyramid, led by Dr. Mohamed Ismail Khaled have now confirmed the findings and the dilapidated area is being carefully excavated, examined and renovated.
