SAQQARA, Egypt: Egypt unveiled yesterday a newly uncovered 4,000-year-old 'missing pyramid' and a ceremonial procession road where high priests, their faces obscured by masks, once carried mummified sacred bulls worshipped in the ancient Egyptian capital of Memphis.
The pyramid was actually a 'rediscovery,' said Egypt's antiquities chief, Zahi Hawass. It is believed to have been built by King Menkauhor, an obscure pharaoh who ruled for only eight years.
