Egypt Reopens Important Tombs At Saqqara (gadling)
Filed under: Arts and Culture, History, Learning, Africa, Egypt, Middle East
Despite facing political turmoil, authorities in Egypt have been forging ahead
with renovations of key archaeological sites. Last week saw the renovation and
reopening of two important tombs, the Serapeum and the tomb of Akhethotep &
Ptahhotep.
The Serapeum dates to 1390 B.C. and was a tomb for holy bulls. I visited in
1991 and the memories of the gloomy underground corridors and giant sarcophagi
are still vivid in my mind. It was closed in 2001 due to water leaking inside
and shifts in the earth that threatened the underground structure.
The tomb of Akhethotep & Ptahhotep housed a father and son who were both high
officials for the last two pharaohs of the Fifth Dynasty around 2375 B.C. The
double tomb is brightly painted with scenes of religious rituals, agriculture,
hunting, and children playing.
Both tombs are at Saqqara, 30 kilometers south of Cairo and the site of
Egypt's first pyramid.
Authorities plan to open five more tombs soon. The government has spent
millions of dollars on this work and hopes to lure back tourists who have been
scared away by the recent unrest.
