A team of Egyptian archaeologists has unearthed in the desert, in the funeral complex of Saqqara, to the south of Cairo, the rest of a pyramid that could be the one of queen Sesheshet. Yesterday, Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiques of Egypt, announced the finding, realised two months ago, although there are no definitive tests that she is the one of Sesheshet.

Four millenia after their construction still five meters of the original structure stay still on, that got to measure 15. It is not more, because she was victim of the sacking; still a hole is seen by which, it assumes, entered the thieves. Zawass foretold that inside they will find inscriptions on Sesheshet, mother of Teti Pharaoh, who reigned between 2323 and 2291 before Christ and founded the sixth dynasty.
