UMMM... How do you misplace a pyramid?

Read the source and find out!

I did more fully... it isn't a pyramid they found so much as it was the base of one... not exactly the same thing.

Me too, every time I look at it. So precise in it's carving.

I wonder if this is typical of the stone "lids" of that time.

Is it just me or is Hawass really pushing this is the real thing... in the Yahoo news article alone he says...

We have filled the gap of the missing pyramid," Hawass told reporters on a tour of the discoveries at Saqqara, the necropolis and burial site of the rulers of ancient Memphis, the capital of Egypt's Old Kingdom, about 12 miles south of Cairo.

Archaeologists have not found a cartouche — a pharaoh's name in hieroglyphs — of the pyramid's owner. But Hawass said that based on the estimated date of the pyramid he was convinced it belonged to Menkauhor.

"You never know what secrets the sands of Egypt hide," he said. "I always believe there will be more pyramids to discover."

Could this have been planted or fabricated?
I agree with Photon, The sarcophagus looks metal to me as well...

I'm sorry folks, but with all of the years of his being untrustworthy, I wouldn't trust Hawass to pour sand out of a shoe. I have heard enough ill news on the man over the years that make me sick just knowing he has his hand in every ancient project in the country.

Don't trust the man. He has his own agenda. Giza is a Military Zone thanks to him. I'm glad that I visited Egypt before his position was created. In my opinion, Egypt's history is being re-writen, Hawass style, & damn the rest of the world.

You are absolutely on target as for "Hawass keeping Egypt's history status quo." You could not have put it any better! There is so much history that has yet to be discovered. It is as if he has a prewritten book on Egypt's past, & as things are discovered, Hawass politely assigns his own scenario to the discovery.

He has an untold amount of power. Far too much power, & it is Absolute and unquestionable. Armed guards travel with him everywhere. In one interview that he gave a few years ago, he blatantly came forward with the idiotic statement that he was a"Pharaoh reincarnate." I honestly do not think that fits into the Islamic belief system following death. Quite honestly he needs a world class Swiss Psychoanalyst. He is a danger to people & to the history & future of one of the world's greatest treasures, the land of Egypt.

As far as I am concerned, and this is my opinion only, Egypt's history is more important than just belonging to Egypt. It's sites are so important to the entire world as a whole. But the fact that the Giza Plateau is now a declared Military Zone tell me that there are some studies going on there which are not to be seen or known about. Sure you can still visit the area of the Pyramids & such, but any thing west of the area is off limits. It's likened to the USA's area 51. Go figure.

Egypt is hiding something major. Actually a lot of things are being hid, & Hawass is behind all of it. In many way's it is scary beyond belief.

The first part of your statement is very important and it is the reason why I have become so intrigued with the story of Ancient Egypt. Well, funny thing is, I feel the story we've all been told is not accurate and incomplete at best. We're all on a need to know basis.

There's a lot more going on here. Look around our present society and you can find Egyptian influences everywhere. Look at some of the greatest ancient civilizations known to current man, mainly the Greeks and the Romans, and you'll see that they too were very much influenced by these Ancient Egyptians. I mean they were established as a thriving civilization long before the Romans and Greeks as far as I'm concerned.

The Greeks came in and ruled them over eventually, and suddenly we have Greek names for Egyptian cities and kings; that we still use today... Huh?

Why were these super civilizations so enamored by the AE's? There is an incredible amount of knowledge that sprung up in this land thousands of years ago... where did the Egyptians get their no how? Who was their influence? It seems to me that all major civilizations took something from Egypt, well who did Egypt take from?

That's the strangest thing I could imagine finding in the middle of all that rough cut limestone... doesn't look like it was ever buried in sand or rubble either, just sitting there plain as day "lost" for 200 years?

And that's not a 'lid' of anything, it's obviously one of two pieces that are designed to lock together. Maybe on a sliding track to form one big ass door.



Yeah, he looks shifty alright. Like the photographer just became a huge problem for him.

That is metal, They are hiding something by using that to cover an entrance I bet. Kind of like a giant portable door with hidden lock.
