Tomb of ancient priestess found in Egypt February 5, 2018 February 6, 2018 today 0 Comment Egypt Archaeologists in Egypt have unveiled the newly discovered tomb of an ancient priestess that dates back 4,400 years. The tomb found near Cairo is adorned with well-preserved and rare wall paintings depicting the priestess, Hetpet, in a variety of scenes. Hetpet was a priestess to the goddess of fertility Hathor, who assisted women in childbirth. It was found during excavations near the Great Pyramid of Giza, Egyptâs antiquities ministry says. This site, in Gizaâs western cemetery, housed officials from the Old Kingdomâs Fifth Dynasty, some of which have already been dug up since 1842.
Early Egyptian kings were buried in mounds called mastabas. In approximately 2780 BC the first Egyptian pyramid was built as the burial chamber for King Djoser. Located at Sakkara near Memphis, Djoser's burial chamber was a step pyramid. According to the Smithsonian Museum the first smooth-sided pyramid was built during the reign of King Snefru, sometime between 2680-2560 BC. Snefru's son, Khufu, is responsible for building the most famous of all the pyramids, the Great Pyramid at Giza.
