An Egyptian conservator works at the site of a newly-discovered tomb dating back to around 1100 B.C. at the Saqqara archaeological site, 30 kilometers (19 miles) south of Cairo, Egypt, Thursday, May 8, 2014. Antiquities Minister Mohamed Ibrahim said Thursday that the tomb belongs to a guard of the army archives and royal messenger to foreign countries. Ibrahim says the Cairo University Faculty of Archaeology's discovery at Saqqara adds "a chapter to our knowledge about the history of Saqqara." Saqqara was the necropolis for the ancient Egyptian city of Memphis and site of the oldest known pyramid in Egypt.(AP Photo/Amr Nabil)

The claims of ‘oldest known pyramid’ are pure speculation based upon assumed timelines that are not proving accurate. The Great Pyramid at Giza may be more than ten thousand years older than reported, and the Sphynx could date to 20,000 BC and has been recarved thousands of years after it was first made.
