A joint Egypt-German archeological mission discovered eight storage chambers within the Sahure's Pyramid in the Abusir Necropolis located south of Giza.
In his remarks, Mostafa Waziri, the Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA), revealed that this significant find provides valuable insights into the interior design and architecture of the pyramid belonging to King Sahure, who was the second king of the Fifth Dynasty and the first to be interred in Abusir.
Once the restoration procedures have been completed, the chambers will be available to scholars for further study.
In turn, Mohamed Ismail Khaled, an Egyptologist and the head of the joint mission, explained that during the restoration process, the team determined the original dimensions and layout of the antechamber.
Despite severe damage to the eastern wall, the team detected traces of a low passage previously identified by British explorer John Perring in 1836, confirming the accuracy of Perring's observation.
Khaled further explained that the eight storerooms were uncovered after the passage was cleared of rubble.
