Thank you, as always, for posting this article.

"A tomb newly excavated at an ancient cemetery in Egypt would have boasted a pyramid 7 meters (23 feet) high at its entrance, archaeologists say. "

Well,,, that's assuming that the Egyptians built Pyramids on top of tombs. Which they didn't.

We have yet to find a burial TOMB inside a pyramid. And there are thousands of pyramids around the planet.

Oddly, most of the public still believes that Pyramids were built to be burial tombs for ancient rulers.

It’s got a for sale sign out front. It needs some work on the roof. Looks like beachfront property.
