SENSATIONAL DISCOVERY: ITALIAN ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNEARTH LEGENDARY TEMPLE OF THE SUN IN THE ABUSIR NECROPOLIS

An Italian archaeological expedition has made an astounding discovery in the Abusir necropolis near Cairo, uncovering the ruins of an ancient Egyptian Sun temple belonging to Pharaoh Nyuserre. Information about this significant discovery was disseminated by CBS News.

It is noteworthy that this site was first discovered back in 1901 by the prominent German Egyptologist Ludwig Borchardt, who later became famous for finding the renowned bust of Nefertiti in 1912. However, at the beginning of the 20th century, full-scale excavations were impossible due to the high level of groundwater. Modern researchers have managed to excavate part of the ancient temple, which had been hidden beneath the sedimentary deposits of the great Nile River for millennia.

Egypt continues to surprise the world with new discoveries. Shortly before this, a joint Egyptian-German expedition revealed mysterious cavities inside the pyramid of Menkaure, which, according to specialists' assumptions, could be a secret entrance to unexplored chambers.

The pyramid of Menkaure, erected about 4,500 years ago, reaches a height of about 61 meters and is the smallest of the three main pyramids of the famous complex in Giza. This majestic structure was built as a tomb for Pharaoh Menkaure, a representative of the Fourth Egyptian dynasty, whose sarcophagus remains unfound to this day.
