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
