A new archaeological discovery was made in Egypt

Italian archaeologists have discovered the ruins of an ancient Egyptian Sun temple belonging to Pharaoh Nyuserre in the Abusir necropolis near Cairo. This was reported by CBS News.

It is noted that the location itself was found back in 1901. The discovery was made by German Egyptologist Ludwig Borchardt, who became famous for discovering a sculpture depicting Nefertiti in 1912. At that time, excavations could not be carried out due to high groundwater levels. Now they have managed to find part of the temple that had long been under the Nile's bottom sediments.

Prior to this, scientists from Egypt and Germany discovered hidden chambers in the Pyramid of Menkaure. They believe this could be a secret entrance.

The Pyramid of Menkaure was built in Egypt approximately 4,500 years ago. It stands about 200 feet (61 m) tall. It is the smallest of the three main pyramids in the famous Giza complex. This historical structure was built as a tomb for King Menkaure, ruler of the Fourth Egyptian dynasty, whose sarcophagus has not yet been found.
