Quote from The Earth Times:
“Cairo – An archeological mission of the Egyptian Higher Council of Antiquities (EHCA) on Sunday announced the discovery of two rock-cut tombs that date back to Egypt’s 5th Dynasty (2323-2356 BC). The tombs were found at the el-Deir bridge area in the Saqqara necropolis near Cairo, the site where the rulers of Egypt’s Old Kingdom were buried, and some 400 metres south of the step pyramid of King Djoser. ”
