Talking Pyramids: Ancient Egyptian Pyramids

News on the discovery of the burial chamber inside the pyramid of Behenu continues with this video on the recent excavations at the site.

The report mentions that pottery sherds, torn cloth and bone fragments were found in the burial chamber:

“Experts are now examining what is left of Behenu’s mortal remains including what is believed to be her jawbone, which should reveal her age.

The excavation has stopped for the winter but the team leader believes they’ll find a gold mine of information about the queen when they excavate a funerary temple adjoining her pyramid next year.”

I suppose this must mean they’ve emptied the sand from the sarcophagus since this video was made.

In the video we get to see more of the burial chamber and the arrangement of the texts within the chamber.

Here is another video:
