WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Egypt: 4000-year-old city found

Cairo – Polish and Egyptian archaeologists have unearthed a necropolis containing the 4 000-year-old stone tomb of a royal official, Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities announced on Wednesday.

Culture Minister Farouk Hosni said the necropolis near the pyramids of Saqqara, about 25km south of Cairo, contained the tomb of Ny-Ankh-Nefetem, identified in hieroglyphic writing as the god’s servant of the pyramids of kings Unas and Teti, who ruled successively from 2375 to 2291 B.C.

The rectangular-shaped tomb had false doors, a chapel and a burial chamber decorated with scenes showing part of the deceased’s daily life and his titles – including keeper of the king’s property and the head steward of the Great House, the minister said in a statement.

Most of the reliefs were very well preserved, the most impressive being one showing the deceased walking with his son, Hosni’s statement said.

Zahi Hawass, chief of antiquities, said the tomb was found below a dense cluster of mummy remains, wooden coffins and skeletons that dated back to the late ancient Egyptian Period, Ptolemaic and Greco-Roman periods.
