The Pyramid of Queen Shesheshet mother of the Pharaoh Teti “2323-2291 BC” of Egypt’s Sixth Dynasty was found in September 2008 believed to be 4,300 years old, several hundred years after the constructions of the great pyramids of Giza which sunk 20m below the sands south of the Egyptian Capital Cairo. The 4300-year-old pyramid discovered in Egypt lies near two other pyramids that belong to Unas (her father)’s two wives, Nebet and Khenut. It is the 118th pyramid in Egypt and the 12th located in Saqqara and is considered to be Saqqara’s most Subsidiary pyramid. The discovery was part of the sprawling necropolis and burial site of the rules of ancient Memphis about 12mi south of Giza.
