Storage rooms discovered inside King Sahure pyramid for first time

A joint Egyptian-German archaeological mission from the University of Würzburg, working in the Abu Sir archaeological area at Giza have discovered a series of store rooms inside the pyramid of King Sahure for the first time.

The Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Egypt, Mostafa Waziri, stressed the importance of this find as it helps unveils the architectural design behind the pyramid of King Sahure, the second king of the Fifth Dynasty (2400 BC) and the first king to be buried in Abu Sir area.

These warehouses will be made available for future study as soon as the mission finishes its work, and will also be opened for Egyptian and foreign visitors in the near future, Waziri said.
