EGYPT-ARCHEOLOGY-ANTIQUITI4htergwergwrty

Archaeologists in Saqqara, Egypt have unveiled a massive haul of recently discovered relics to the public. 

 A cache of sarcophagi and bronze statuettes are now on display at the Saqqara archaeological site, south of Cairo.

Among the 150 bronze statuettes unearthed is one of Imhotep, who "revolutionised architecture" in the ancient world, Mostafa Waziri, head of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, told reporters.

Several other statuettes of Egyptian gods and goddesses were unearthed, including ones depicting Bastet, Anubis, Osiris, Amunmeen, Isis, Nefertum and Hathor. 

The archaeological mission also unveiled 250 wooden sarcophagi with mummies inside, dating back to the fifth century BC, according to Waziri.

The artifacts were showcased at a makeshift exhibit at the feet of the Step Pyramid of Djoser, 15 miles southwest of the Egyptian capital. Constructed at Saqqara about 4,700 years ago, the Step Pyramid of Djoser was the first pyramid the Egyptians built. 

They will be transferred for a permanent exhibit at the new Grand Egyptian Museum, a mega project still under construction near the famed Giza Pyramids, just outside Cairo.
