AP quoted the Supreme Council of Egyptian Antiquities, saying that the door is a pink granite slab carved with religious words with a height of 1.75 m. Its date is about 3,500 years. This door is for User, the prime minister in the court of Queen Hatshepsut in the 15th century BC.

The inscription on the stone shows that the User has been a prime minister for 20 years and he may inherit that position from his father. In the ancient Egyptian dynasties, the prime minister was the office responsible for managing all the daily administrative activities of the country.

Due to the tremendous merit of the country, after the death of the User was buried in a tomb on the west bank of the Nile near Luxor city with many kings and queens. The door is located quite far from the tomb. It seems that someone took the stone out of the grave and brought it to the wall of a Roman building. This building is about 1,000 years younger than the User tomb.
