Latvian discovery in Egypt

Latvian scientists in Egypt have discovered the original entrance of Djoser’s Pyramid, which could provide the answer to how the pyramid was built. The entrance to the 5,000-year-old pyramid was discovered using a 3D scanner. Historians said the entrance was walled up when rebuilding mastaba into a pyramid, but the Latvian scientists discovered that the original entry was only partly covered. The discovery carries great importance, as it knocks out current theories and allows us to restore Djoser’s Pyramid, built by Egyptian architect Imhotep. Besides Latvian expedition had managed to discover three new galleries with human bones and numerous ceramic objects. There were also discovered eleven other galleries with the bodies of governor Jossers family in sarcophagus.
