Archaeologists at the Abusir Archaeological Cemetery in Giza excavated the final resting place of Shepseskaf 'ankh , the Great Priest of both Upper and Lower Egypt under the Fifth Dynasty of the Ancient Capital.

The huge size of the limestone tomb, 21m x 14m x 4m, emphasizes the special importance of the inner master.

Specialist Ali Alasfar said the door outside the grave was carved with hieroglyphs, revealing the identity of the character to be "The Priest of Khnum" , or "Magic Priest".

According to Fox News, the door to the east of the tomb also contained hieroglyphs, with the content of the deceased as the most important royal royal priest of ancient Egypt at the time.

This is the third grave belonging to a priest discovered at the Abusir Archaeological Cemetery.

According to Ibrahim Ali, the latest excavation is very important, because it is the resting place of one of the greatest priests in the construction of the pyramid, who has a close relationship with the pharaoh. .
