The 3,700-year-old burial chamber of a pharaoh’s daughter is believed to have been found near the remains of a recently-discovered pyramid in Egypt.<\/p>\n

The ministry of antiquities said the chamber at the Dahshur royal necropolis, south of Cairo, contained a wooden box engraved with hieroglyphs.<\/p>\n

Inside the box were four canopic jars filled with the organs of the deceased, likely a daughter of King Emnikamaw.<\/p>\n

The ruler’s pyramid is about 600m (1,970ft) from the chamber.<\/p>\n

Last month, archaeologists investigating the remains of the structure found a relief with 10 lines of hieroglyphs bearing Emnikamaw’s name.<\/p>\n

They also uncovered the remnants of an anthropoid sarcophagus.<\/p>\n

Dahshur is where King Sneferu of the 4th Dynasty built ancient Egypt’s first true smooth-sided pyramid, the 104m-high (341ft) Red Pyramid, about 4,600 years ago.<\/p>\n

He also constructed an earlier version, the 105m-high Bent Pyramid, whose slopes change angle from 54 degrees to 43 degrees about halfway up.<\/p>\n

Sneferu was succeeded by his son Khufu, renowned for the Great Pyramid at Giza, which – at 138m high – was a wonder of the ancient world.<\/p>\n
