New discovery of a Middle Kingdom tomb at Saqqara?
Typically Spanish
Thanks to Kat for pointing this out to me. A short report on the above website about a Treaty of Cooperation between Spain and Egypt mentions that the Queen of Spain, Dona Sofia, wasshown around Saqqara by Zahi Hawass, who pointed out the base of a newly excavated Middle Kingdom pyramid at the site. I really must get around to tagging my posts with labels to make older posts easier to find, but I've had a dig around and I can't find anything on the subject - does anyone have any information about this (possible) site? The most recent work reported was, as far as I can see, Ian Mathieson's hopes for the discovery of the tomb of Imhotep (Old Kingdom). All insights gratefully received.
