The discovery of hundreds of ancient pyramids has shocked the archaeological world in particular and the world in general.
Saqqara is an ancient Egyptian cemetery in present-day Giza province. Because Saqqara is located close to the ancient Egyptian capital Memphis, it is the ruins of many pyramids. It can be said that the works at Saqqara are like early versions of the later great works of the Egyptians.
Although built in the early period, the pyramids at Saqqara still retain their diversity and uniqueness, the most famous of which is the stepped pyramid of pharaoh Djoser and dozens of other noble tombs. .

Because of the value of Saqqara, this place has been searched and excavated by archaeologists for more than 100 years. However, when it seemed that Saqqara had nothing left to discover, a recent announcement by archeologist Vasko Dobrev caused a stir:
” There are about 120 pyramids across Egypt that are still shrouded in secrecy, most of them buried under the desert sands. Normally we only think of the most famous pyramids in Giza but Saqqara is the place where the first pyramids appeared. It is here that has the potential to discover new pyramids and many other wonderful things.”
As revealed by archeology doctor Vasko Dobrev, most of the unexplored pyramids are still lying deep underground, just below the sand dunes.
I have spent more than 30 years researching the pyramids near the city of Cairo (Egypt). By comparison with history and logic, I identified many other pyramids buried under the sand located right inside the ancient cemetery of Saqqara. My assumption was correct as recent geologic scans of the entire region have indeed shown signs of brand new pyramids lying beneath the desert sands ,” said Dr Vasko Dobrev.
A new pyramid was discovered through geological scanning.
Dr Dobrev predicts it is more likely that the newly discovered pyramid complex belonged to Pharaoh Userkare, a king who ruled Egypt for a period of 3-4 years. In Egypt, almost every Pharaoh wanted to build himself a monumental pyramid. This discovery will probably answer the question of how the pharaohs would have built the pyramids if their reign was short.
Besides, Dr. Dobrev’s 30 years of research have been proven thanks to the advancement of today’s technology. According to what Dobrev claims, archaeologists are full of hope when they know that there are more than 120 large and small pyramids currently hidden throughout Egypt.
