The Undiscovered Pharaoh Sahure still rests in his Pyramid?

The pyramid of Sahure at Abusir has suffered greatly from the ravages of greed and time. But perhaps a twist of fate has allowed the monument to preserve the king’s undiscovered remains.

The hazards of exploring and excavating this fallen structure have protected the chambers within for centuries or Millennia. John Perring in 1837 was the first and only explorer to reach an inner chamber since it catastrophically collapsed in the ancient past.

New research in the past few years has brought amazing discoveries that are already rewriting the history of Egyptian pyramids. Parts of the pyramid remain buried in rubble, waiting for their secrets to be unlocked. New excavations are underway that may be the best chance of finding the remains of a ruler from the Old Kingdom.
