Members of an Egyptian Department of Antiquities Field Mission, recently unearthed at Sakkara Egypt ruins which they believe to be the long-lost tomb of Menes (Aha, the fighter) founder of the first dynasty of Pharaohs. Although two eminent British Egyptologists have advanced claims of having uncovered Menes’ tomb at two other locations, the repetition of the name Menes, and absence of any other names at the Sakkara excavations would indicate that they are the authentic tomb of the first Pharaoh. Numerous pieces of pottery, and furniture and reed matting, still stuck to the walls, have been taken from the site thus far. The above pictures show operations at the Sakkara excavations and some of the articles taken from the tomb.
