Egypt found the pyramid for the queen

Egyptian archaeologists have discovered a pyramid in the desert south of Cairo. They thought it was the resting place of a female pharaoh who ruled over 4,000 years ago.

The pyramid, found two months ago, is believed to be the place to bury queen Sesheshet. She was the mother of King Teti, who ruled Egypt from 2323 to 2291 BC and founded the country's sixth dynasty.

This is the 118th pyramid found in Egypt. It is 5 meters high, 22 meters long on each side and is located near the oldest pyramid in Saqqara, the graveyard of ancient Egyptian kings.

' Shesheshet is the only queen without a pyramid. So I am sure that the pyramid has just come to her , "said Zahi Hawass, director of the Egyptian antiquities agency.

Conflicts in the royal family and the decline of central government power are the two most fundamental characteristics of the sixth dynasty in Egypt. Scientists believe that after Teti king died, Egypt stood by famine and revolts.

Egyptian archaeologists once discovered the pyramid for Teti's queens near the location of the new pyramid, but they never found the Shesheshet's grave.

Archaeologists will explore the tomb of the pyramid in the next two weeks, but they think it may be that the thieves have taken most of the property in it.
