Discover the entrance to the mysterious pyramid in the Abydos mecca

Recently, archaeologists have unearthed a grave in the ancient cemetery in Egypt. Interestingly, the tomb will open the entrance to the 'mysterious' pyramid.

At the entrance of the tomb is a dome and surrounded by high and thick walls. Archaeologists speculate that this is the entrance of a pyramid about 7m high.

Under the dome, archaeologists found a finely crafted sandstone coffin, painted red.

On the coffin with the name of Horemheb, a few images of Egyptian gods and hieroglyphs in the Dead Book are for those of the other world.

Archaeologists did not find mummies in the coffin. They thought that the grave had been stolen beforehand. However, they also found that there were skeletons left out in pieces of 3-4 men, 10-12 women and at least two children.

Kevin Cahail, a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania, who is also the excavation team leader, said this may be a "family" tomb dating back to 3300 years, including the remains of many generations, including the remains of Horemheb's daughter, mother and many wives.

Archaeologists think that this family must be supreme, or join the military to build such a tomb.

More importantly, archaeologists also found a heart-shaped talisman made of red and green stone. It is possible that this heart-shaped amulet is related to magic from the Dead book with the Egyptian conception of truth and justice, called Ma'at.

Cahail added that this is considered to be all that remains of the pyramid, especially the entrance to the grave with very thick walls. Other parts of the predicted pyramid may no longer exist or have not been found.

All the findings will be taken to the radioactive carbon test to solve the mystery of this grave.
