[quote]A long-forgotten queen of Egypt has been rediscovered by Czech archaeologists, who unearthed her 4,500-year-old tomb at the Abusir necropolis just outside of Cairo.
Inscriptions on the tomb indicate her name was Khentakawess, or Khentkaus, and that she was married to the Pharaoh Neferefre, also known as King Raneferef, who ruled briefly during the 5th Dynasty of the Old Kingdom, the team announced on Sunday.
Since there have been two other queens with the same name, the archaeologists are calling her Khentakawess III, or Khentkaus III, according to AFP.[/quote]
There has been a lot of big archeology finds as of late.
It's awesome.
Bummer that the tomb was looted though, I wonder if they'll ever find any more relatively intact ones.
Only if they're cursed.
So the Queen's tomb was looted in the past? I hope the thieves didn't
