Remains of a new pyramid discovered in Egypt

 CAIRO (AP) -- A top antiquities official says an Egyptian excavation team has discovered the remains of a new pyramid that dates back to the 13th Dynasty, some 3,700 years ago.

The head of the Ancient Egyptian Antiquities Sector, Mahmoud Afifi, said in a statement Monday that the remains were located north of King Sneferu's bent pyramid in the Dahshur royal necropolis south of Cairo.

 

Due to the bent slope of its sides, the pyramid is believed to have been ancient Egypt's first attempt to build a smooth-sided pyramid.

 

The necropolis was the burial site for courtiers and high-ranking officials.

 

Adel Okasha, the head of Dahshur necropolis, said that the remains belong to the inner structure of the pyramid, including a corridor.

 

Other remains included blocks showing the interior design of the pyramid.

Looks to me that it's not NEW but about 3700 years old! Guess there are probably rather few new pyramids around the world. Pyramid construcion is one of the oldest professions of the world but got few (it any) modern followers.

Old building that even so called "modern" people could't imagine. The size, method, precision, etc, beyond our thought. I believe there was extraterrestrial involved that time.
