There are several surviving artifacts such as the Abydos King List, the Saqqara Tablet and the Turin King List that egyptologists rely on to establish the timeline of the pharaohs.
Harrell and Bown believe that blocks were loaded onto barges during the dry season, then floated over to the Nile during the floods to be shipped off to the monument sites at Giza and Saqqara.
Like many other tombs at Saqqara, this one had been looted long before archaeologists found it, but its intricately painted walls have led to its being described as an exceptional discovery.
If that is you, and you're worried about missing out on sites like Giza, Saqqara, or anything else in the Cairo region, Ancient World Tours can arrange an extra excursion for those interested.
