““Saqqara would have been the place to be seen dead in,” Campbell Price , curator of Egypt and Sudan at the Manchester Museum in England, told Smithsonian magazine ’s Jo Marchant in 2021.”
“These discoveries were made during excavations at Saqqara , the necropolis at the ancient Egyptian capital of Memphis.”
“The new finds, announced last week by Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, could help researchers study how Saqqara was used across many years.”
“The false door was found inside this tomb, which also held an offering table and purification basin.”
““It had this numinous, divine energy that would help you get into the afterlife.” The 4,000-year-old tomb is a highlight of the latest excavation.”
“Since it was first carefully studied in the 19th century, it has provided archaeologists and historians with a window into the beliefs and cultural practices of Egypt’s Old Kingdom.”
“Earlier this summer, Egyptian officials also announced an initiative to accommodate an increasing number of tourists at Saqqara.”
“They think it belonged to a royal doctor who treated ancient Egyptian rulers.”
“His work, which often centers on freshwater issues, climate change and subsistence, has appeared in Circle of Blue , Sierra magazine, Discover magazine and Alaska Sporting Journal .”
