Czech archeologists in Egypt have discovered a 4,500-year-old tomb believed to belong to Khentakawess, the wife or mother of Pharaoh Neferefre, Egyptian officials said Sunday. According to Agence France-Presse , the ancient tomb was found in Abu-Sir, an area southwest of Cairo with the queen's name inscribed on its inner walls, thereby revealing something else that was previously unknown: Egyptian Antiquities Minister Mamdouh al-Damaty said it's the "first time we have discovered the name of this queen who had been unknown before the discovery of her tomb".
