Former Egyptian Minister of Antiquities Zahi Hawass and head of the archaeological mission working in the Saqqara Antiquities District announced a new archaeological discovery dating back to the Fifth Dynasty of ancient Egypt.
Dr. Zahi Hawass added during today’s press conference that “this time, for the first time of its kind, a large number of 12 statues have been discovered, including a statue of a man named Messi, a priest of King Bibi I.”
Hawass pointed out that “the mummy of a man named Vitek, who was also a priest during the Old Kingdom, was found among 12 statues, including various wooden and stone statues.”
It is noteworthy that the region of the ruins of Saqqara is distinguished by the site of the sacred calf of Apis, which is called the Serapeum, and the Apis calf was considered the image of the Lord Ptah himself, and he is one of the most important deities of the Memphis region, and when the calf died, it was buried in a solemn ceremony until it was found its background. It continued to be used from the eighteenth dynasty until the Ptolemaic era.
The archaeological find is a collection of various coffins with unique gravestone inscriptions, as well as a cache of statues discovered for the first time, most of which date back to the New Kingdom era.
Among the coffins are mummies in good condition, such as those recently discovered in the Saqqara Antiquities District by a mission of the High Council of Antiquities, led by Mostafa Waziri, Secretary General of the High Council of Antiquities.
