Archaeologists in Egypt were left stunned after opening a previously undiscovered pyramid for the first time in nearly 4,000 years. Hidden beneath the sands of Dahshur, an ancient royal necropolis, the structure was revealed to be the final resting place of a forgotten Egyptian princess—but what was found inside has raised even more questions.
A Lost Pyramid Emerges from the Sands
The Dahshur necropolis, located south of Cairo, is home to some of Egypt’s oldest and most unique pyramids, including the famous Bent Pyramid and Red Pyramid of Pharaoh Sneferu. But recent quarry work in the area led to a shocking discovery—the remains of a previously unknown pyramid, buried beneath the desert for millennia.
Workers stumbled upon finely cut limestone blocks, which immediately caught the attention of Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities. Experts soon arrived to begin excavation, leading to a documented investigation featured in the Smithsonian Channel’s Mystery of the Lost Pyramid.
A Sealed Chamber with an Unexpected Surprise
As the excavation progressed, archaeologists uncovered a passageway leading deep underground. The pyramid’s interior remained sealed, a rarity among Egypt’s tombs, most of which have been looted over the centuries. The team expected to find an intact burial chamber, possibly filled with untouched treasures and funerary artifacts.
However, as they lifted the heavy capstone sealing the chamber, they were met with an unexpected sight—a scene of complete disarray. Instead of pristine remains, the burial chamber had been ransacked, despite being sealed for thousands of years.
The Mystery of the “Perfect Crime”
Dr. Chris Naunton, a British Egyptologist leading the investigation, was perplexed by what he called an “ancient crime scene.” If the chamber had been sealed, how had it been looted? The evidence suggested that the robbery took place before the pyramid was even sealed shut—an unprecedented scenario in Egyptian archaeology.
“This means the burial was already disturbed before it was closed forever,” Dr. Naunton explained. “The capstone was designed to keep intruders out, but it also ensured that the burial chamber was never checked again.”
This suggests a deliberate cover-up, potentially orchestrated by those responsible for sealing the tomb. The robbery may have taken place during the turbulent years of the 13th Dynasty, a period marked by political instability and power struggles.
The Forgotten Princess Hatshepsut
Using advanced scanning technology, archaeologists examined damaged hieroglyphs on a canopic chest found within the tomb. To their astonishment, they revealed the name of an unknown royal figure—Princess Hatshepsut.
Unlike the famous Pharaoh Hatshepsut of the 18th Dynasty, this Princess Hatshepsut had never been recorded in Egyptian history. The fact that she had her own pyramid suggests she was of significant importance, yet her existence had been entirely forgotten.
Unraveling a Lost Chapter of Ancient Egypt
The discovery of Princess Hatshepsut’s tomb and its mysterious looting before sealing opens up new questions about the dynastic struggles and political intrigue of Ancient Egypt. Was this an act of betrayal? A power grab? Or a ritualistic disturbance?
While archaeologists continue to analyze the site, the Lost Pyramid of Dahshur remains a haunting reminder of Egypt’s vast, untold history—where even a seemingly sealed tomb can still hold secrets buried beneath the sands.
I remember reading somewhere that during an ancient dynastic period there was a time when the priests help the power, but were increasingly corrupt stealing from those that gave them authority… not unlike present day.
Some things never change. May they RIP
I love the study of ancient places! Their stories are fascinating and confirm humans have had the same motivations, dreams, and family connections as we do today. This is very interesting – finding a forgotten or even unknown to us, princess who was important enough to have her own tomb, and yet, we don’t know about her.
This is why I believe the Bible isn’t the only source a Godly knowledge from the ancients. There is so much we don’t know because we haven’t discovered it and I most cases can’t discover it. The Book of Mormon is one of those lost records that no one knew about in history until God revealed it to the boy prophet Joseph smith. The world dismissed it and scrutinized it because it was to said to be discovered by the power of God but as the years have gone on and archaeology has gotten better and they have discovered more about the ancient inhabitants of the americas we have found there is more to this book than meets the ungodly mind. It is one of the most powerful witnesses of the divinity of the our savior Jesus Christ. If you haven’t looked into it I would highly recommend it. Of coarse there are naysayers about the book but there have always been opposition to Gods revealed word. So I invite all seekers of truth to pick up the Book of Mormon and read it and go to the one that knows the truth of all things, and ask with real intent whether the book is a true record. The Book has brought me closer to God then even the Bible, it is the reason I believe the only way back to God is through the savior Jesus Christ, who was born of Mary and took on all of our transgressions and pains in the garden and on the cross of Calvary. The truth will set you free. We have two ancient witnesses of the divinity of Jesus Christ. The Bible states that God will give us two or three witnesses to establish His truth, the Book of Mormon is one of these witnesses, it is the stick of Joseph as prophesied by the ancient patriarchs of the Bible.
Lol……sorry but that book by Joseph Smith. Just a work of fiction my friend. Has absolutely nothing to do with the real Creator of Jesus Christ, unfortunately.
Amen!!!! Jesus is Lord!!!!
Absolutely
Absolutely agree. The Bible is the only true revelation of God to man throughout 66 letters written by man through the direct inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is the only Son of God but His divine revelation does not need any additional “revelations” by later so-called prophets, i.e. J. Smith.
Please stop this bs. Choose the right place for your sermons. Lol
Yes, people thru out all of history hv kept their thousands of years histories & remembrances to call upon, even much older than a couple thousand years, to help them reach the deep & ancient center from where wisdom comes. All of it is that way. We ALL go there. It’s like a church deep in the heart where all wisdom is working.
This is a ridiculous article! There has never ever been ANY Person, Pharoah, or any other people’s bodies EVER found in ANY Pyramid in ANY part of the World… I have NO idea why Big Archeology keeps trying to convince the public that the Pyramids were used as Tombs, but they refuse to back down from their lies. The step Pyramid at Doser is the only Pyramid to have a few random body parts (not a whole body) laying around underneath it, IN THE ENTIRE WORLD OF PYRAMIDS. We have NO REAL Idea what the Pyramids were actually used for. Stop lying to us, and start speaking the truth.
How would U know
Excellent reply !…
Can you document this assertion?
Don’t be lazy. Look up the information yourself.
No. The burden of proof is on the person who made the statement
Time for Joshua to take his medicine.
So angry. Does Tuntenkarmen matter?
Tut was not found in a pyramid. He was buried in a relatively small grave in the valley of the kings. I’ve been there.
The pyramids were actually large scale industrial chemical manufacturing plants. Used to produce a variety of important chemicals such as Hydrocloric and Sulphuric acids, methane, ammonia for fertilisers etc.
See Geofrey Drumm on youtube, channel is The Land of Chem. You will have yoir answer. But still not many people want to listen.
Shut up, you lie just as much as they do. It’s history which you were never about of. Let it be and to those who want to know, thank God for wisdom and knowledge 🙏
Yes. That’s right. These tombs were made to bring the being into the next life.
A technology that if is true, defys modern logic and invokes the wisdom of God.
In my opinion, the pyramids are energy generators, for worldwide direct current energy production. Some videos suggest they are about 20,000 years old. According to a guest on Coast to Coast AM on 97.2 FM a couple of weeks ago. a super nova exploded 30,000 years ago, with the debris hitting the Earth 10,000 years later. This debris shot microasteroids into the wooly mammoths, killing them instantly some having buttercups in their mouths.
In my opinion. This blew the electrical grid worldwide, exploding the objects using the electricity. The “burnt” pyramid and the step pyramid are on higher ground than the Giza Great pyramid. The first two pyramids I mentioned have charcoaled rock. The Giza pyramid has a crack in its North corner. North “sarcofegus. If a Hugh lightning bolt came that could explain the pyramid’s destruction. There are pyramids in every quadrant of the , including the poles. The shafts have been scraped, chemically tested one shaft had urine/ammonia, the other zinc. When combined, creates hydrogen gas. If I remember correctly, the Queen’s chamber sarcofeguking’s chamber has the lid intact, but the corner on the North is gone. I believe hydrogen gas was pressured to create electricity. The king and Queen’s chambers are a piezo bladder to create resonance from the ram pump from the river beneath the pyramid plateau. A series of “sarcofegi” near the pyramids I think are hydrogen gas pressurized capacitors. To contain electricity in a capacitor, a continuous trickle of electricity must charge these at all times. A dig uncovered. “sarcofegus” that was still sealed. Lined with lead paint & registered radioactivity. The reason for the capacitors is to , once electricity is stopped, they released many times more electricity than they were holding. The energy would be fed to the gold top of the pyramid. In a high burst. Oblisks are typically next to pyramids. I think the pyramids create the energy. The oblisks has something to do with travel. A pyramid & oblisk has been photographed on the moon wormholes are unstable. I have not figured out the rest.
Thank you
KissOFF!!!
Really? Does it smell where you pull your data from???
The pyramids are actually used as markers like “pings” to travel your voice around the world through white noise and to marker bank accounts of precious metals hidden with fake dirt to be exact
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You are correct that is a bunch of crap that they like you to believe why don’t they be honest about all the findings and stop making things up same with space there theories and made up noise they talk and try and make people believe it is sad really most of all what we were thought in school was lies.
Is this another conspiracy your tiny minded thinking created. Why can’t people like you accept the truth? Where is your proof that no one was buried in a pyramid? Were you there?
It’s about the money 💰… they’ve probably already raided the hidden chambers in the great pyramid… just like they did the sphinx.
To be honest I’ll give you a freebie… Tesla was about to send our technological pathway close or the exact same to what happened in the past… When JP Morgan pulled his funding from Warden Cliff Tower… It literally altered our technological pathway from macro technology to a micro one… If Tesla had started sending energy through the atmosphere and ground , no micro circuitry would have been able to be created on this planet…
There is no reason to believe that pyramids were tombs. This unknown princess may have been interred in a tomb under a pyramid, but you can bet that pyramid was never intended to be her tomb, to house her tomb, or to mark the location of her tomb. That’s not what the pyramids were built for.
Because you know what they were for, please enlighten us.
That is correct.
We have only just begun to scratch the surface of humanity’s lengthy past on Earth.
So the people looting a pyramid were surprised that the pyramid had already been looted? Lol
They were used to accumulate energy from the atmosphere same way as church spires in AD periods were used.
Church spires were built high to be seen by people from a distance across the fields.
It’s true. Indiana Jones movies documented it quite well in fact .
I’m curious if any of you have an advanced degree in anthropology or archeology? What makes you claim what the pyramids were built for ?
Well, what a mind plethora of excuses and reasons as to what the pyramids were used for. They were electrical power plants used during the fourth civilization to disperse energy throughout the world so that our ancestors. Yes those, were able to charge up their craft and disperse messages throughout the world. To say otherwise, well (based on intrinsic evidence as well as archaeological articles and books, there are several. I recommend all of them written by actual archaeologist, you will come to the same conclusion. I believe a simple Google search a few times on several different aspects will get you the answers you so seek.) I put forth nothing as solid evidence nor solid research. This is just information I have gathered over time and through different avenues. Put it all together and made a concerted hypothetical assumption which is as close to a guess as we can get nowadays, I believe. No. Conspiracy theorists, no right wing or left wing whatever. They’re both wings of the same bird. By the way. Do your own research as your teacher would say “look it up” and then make your own concerted hypothetical assumption. good day!
KissOFF!!!
They were used for electricity
Really? Does it smell where you pull your data from???
Discoveries don’t change history, they change our understanding of history. History is forever undisturbed.
This is a piece of writing which needs psychiatrist attention.
It suggests that the writer of this article is completely disorganised in his brains.cant focus to write the subject matter is a 5 line paragraph.
His mind is disillusioned and in disarray.
He should stop writing and do some serious meditation
So what are your ideas were they used for?
Personally, I don’t really care about the dead Egyptians kings and princesses from long ago. I believe they were tyrants who enslaved and could have cared less about anyone but themselves.
Yes very interesting how a bigger story can be revealed even with a empty tomb.
Within the next hundred years we will have learned so much more information from the new tools of technology.
South America we will see they were the tech, etc. giants of the past, of lost knowledge, under the jungle ground & the deserts of the middle east. We will find out the past was so much more advanced,but something happened to mankind that we had to started all over again.
Actually, Hatshepsut had a LOT of enemies, nonetheleast of which was the stepson she kept off of the throne for many years, who succeeded her, and had her name obliterated from almost everywhere!
It’s actually a bit surprising that she was even mummified!
A REAL histrorian. would have expected her tomb to be robbed before it was sealed! She was only there to give an excuse to seal the tomb, and for all the stuff to be not looked for!
This is a total b******* article they repeat the t’s through the first four paragraphs which take forever to get through because of all the ads blocking the article. What a bunch of crap
Yep!
So, uh….wow. The comments are MUCH more fun than the article! While I agree that Joshua is likely overdue for a medication refill, he is not entirely incorrect. While I have no definitive knowledge of all the earth’s pyramids being devoid of entombed royalty, it is now pretty common knowledge that none of Egypt’s pyramids were found to contain mummified remains. And while there are many compelling theories as to the original functionality of the pyramids of Egypt, none have been signed off on by the scientific community as a whole. Even if you accept the ancient power generation theory, as I do, that still leaves plenty of mysteries unanswered. But as for old Josh, it is my experience that those who think they have all the answers, haven’t even asked the right questions.
The most thought-provoking and intelligent response I’ve read yet. Thank you for your insight
Shit sickles
If the pyramids were used to generate electricity, where is the evidence that electricity was in use anywhere during the era of the pyramids, or did I miss something among all the comments many of you folks point at each other like arrows?
With the looting I keep hearing that happens in these tombs….has there ever been a time when the “riches” ever becomes public knowledge? There must be a lot of wealthy citizens in Egypt…or correct me if I’m wrong.
