Egypt uncovers 'missing' pyramid
Back to something important. History.
Egypt uncovers 'missing' pyramid of a pharaoh By KATARINA KRATOVAC, Associated Press Writer Thu Jun 5, 11:17 PM ET Egypt uncovers 'missing' pyramid of a pharaoh - Yahoo! News SAQQARA, Egypt - Egyptian archaeologists unveiled on Thursday a 4,000-year-old "missing pyramid" that is believed to have been discovered by an archaeologist almost 200 years ago and never seen again. Zahi Hawass, Egypt's antiquities chief, said the pyramid appears to have been built by King Menkauhor, an obscure pharaoh who ruled for only eight years. In 1842, German archaeologist Karl Richard Lepsius mentioned it among his finds at Saqqara, referring to it as number 29 and calling it the "Headless Pyramid" because only its base remains. But the desert sands covered the discovery, and no archaeologist since has been able to find Menkauhor's resting place.

Re: Egypt uncovers 'missing' pyramid
How do you misplace a pyramid?
The same way you "mistakenly" send nuclear components to Taiwan. Either you're stupid or you're looking the other way.
