A team of Belgian archeologists has made a startling discovery in the Egyptian city of Luxor. Egypt's Minister of Antiquities Mohammed Ibrahim announced that scientists have located a 3000-year-old pyramid belonging to a vizier of Pharaoh Ramses II.
The ruins of the pyramid were uncovered by a joint mission of the Free University of Brussels and the University of Liège, Agence France-Presse reports.
According to Al Ahram, the pyramid stands 15 meters tall and is decorated with an engraving of the Ancient Egyptian god Ra-Horakhty. The structure is believed to be a cover for the burial chamber of Khay, the vizier or highest official of Pharaoh Ramses II.
The actual tomb of Khay has yet to be uncovered, but efforts to excavate it continue, Al Ahram adds.
