Recent discovery

Seem there was some discovery yesterday (March 2005) See quote "Archaeologists uncovered three coffins and a remarkably well-preserved mummy in a 2,500-year

Hopefully they will finally publish the mitochondrial haplogroups of the mummies. In Finnish language, Sakara means the sharp tip of a star or another structure. Sakarat means in Finnish: the sharp tips of a star or another structure, for example of a pyramid. According to genetic research, many of the pharaohs were of the Finnish maternal mitochondrial line U5b1, so the language of pharaohs may have been Finnish. For example, the word pyramid sounds the same as the Finnish word piiramitta, compass or a clock. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.223.94.138 (talk) 22:49, 29 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Beni Saqqara

The source (3) is not good enough as to support the idea that there is an actual Berber tribe living around Saqqara. See the discussion started at the talkpage of Beni Saqqar. If no better sources can be found, I'll reduce that sentence to a very short mention in the next weeks. Ilyacadiz (talk) 12:43, 18 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

The Starving of Saqqara

Should there be a link to this statue (even though its actual provenance is unknown)? Jackiespeel (talk) 10:47, 24 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Tomb of Idut

The tomb of Princess Idut is present at the Saqqara necropolis and has beautiful relief carvings of ancient Egyptian daily life, including fishing, butchering animals, and scribes working. It does not seem to have its own wiki page, but it may warrant at least a mention here. 71.194.244.139 (talk) 16:55, 11 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
