The Lost Tomb of Queen Hetepheres
Published 4 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
In 1925, archaeologists working on the Giza Plateau uncovered something extraordinary—a hidden chamber sealed for over four thousand years. Inside lay a treasure trove of royal furniture, jewelry, and ceremonial objects belonging to Hetepheres I, the mother of the pharaoh Khufu, builder of the Great Pyramid.
Yet one shocking detail puzzled researchers from the moment the burial chamber was opened: the queen's tomb appeared to be intact—but her body was missing.
