4,000 year old Queen burial unearthed
A new burial chamber of a 4,000 year old queen was recently unearthed by a team of French archaeologists working at Saggara.
The burial chamber in very bad condition is believed to belong to Queen Behenu of the Sixth Dynasty.
Further excavation inside the burial led to the finding of the Queen’s saracophagus but unfortunately the mummy was destroyed.
Philippe Collombert (Head of the mission) said:
“It is a well-preserved granite sarcophagus engraved with the queen’s different titles, but says nothing about the identity of her husband,”.
