This is what the archaeologists think about the recently discovered pharaonic tomb at Saqqara. Researchers at the University of Warsaw's Polish Center of Mediterranean Archeology said the unearthed tomb belonged to a man named Mehtjetju.

It is not surprising that Mehtjetju was buried near King Djoser, whose Step Pyramid at Saqqara was the first of its kind. Years after Djoser's death around 2575 B.C., ancient Egyptian officials wanted their final resting place near the "important and revered king of the glorious past."
