Yes, granted it isn't large like the 3 well known ones, but it is part of a pyramid complex that apparently have been known for over 100 years. And, they are mostly for wives and queens! Yes, for those of us who thought perhaps the Egyptians were neglecting those of us of the fe-type-male persuasion, they did pyramids for us! The link has a video and slide show - but I didn't take the time to run thru them yet. Enjoy! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081111/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_egypt_new_pyramid_5

Oh same here. I love those types of news and historical find. I'm curious about how people were in those times, how they lived. How they spent their long days. Whew! It must be a good thing to be queen a few thousands of years back. =)

It is kind of strange and surprising that until now the areas has not been totally explored as there are still other pyramids that are still sprouting every now and then. I guess there are plenty of it that were buried by time and forgotten already. I hope that the Pyramid is not looted as it was before many pyramids were looted and forgotten already.

I know, I think its pretty amazing they are still discovering so many things in the area. I fear that it has been looted, but hopefully they can still learn things from the hieroglyphics inside the pyramid!

I know, its so facinating. The roomie and I are BOTH rather facinated with Egypt, well, I might say she's more obsessed with it actually!

I would love to go there too, but I very much doubt I will. When my mom went to Kenya, she ended up taking so many meds, I pretty much doubt I could travel any place that required it with my allergies.

My big issues are foods. Most specifically to corn and corn protien, that they LOVE to put in pills in the form of corn starch.

There are ways to control allergies. Visit mercola.com and start reading up on allergies. My sister has allergies but travels all over the world and seems to have no major problems.

they just had a show on about what they think is a 4th great pyramid-that of djetfre,one of khufu's sons.it's almost totally leveled though,not much left. i get a kick out of zahi hawass,the director of antiquities over there.he's such a character.

Pyramid buffs have been predicting this longer than I have been alive. The angle of a pyramid make it difficult to discern with technology. Lasers and sonar are reflected in odd directions so that they are relatively useless for measuring and the same problem effects radar and other things. Overall it amounts to an ability to hide a pyramid under your feet with little chance of it being detected unless you find it while digging.

Well, its been around, and know, longer than you've been alive. Its just that it is recently becoming news. I think its because of that TV junky in charge of Egyption antiquities these days.

i thought it was a new discovery. I know the books I read on pyramids when I was in high school all seemed to predict that there was more to the pyramids than we had seen and that parts of the current periods and even "lost" pyramids might be hiding under the sands undetected because their design tended to misdirect the forms of energy usually used to "see" things under the ground, like ground penetrating radar.
