Lost pyramid relocated.
The pyramid of Menkauhor Kaiu, has been found again.
In 1842, German archaeologist Karl Richard Lepsius mentioned Menkauhor's pyramid among his finds at Saqqara, calling it the "Headless Pyramid" because its top was missing, Hawass said. But the desert sands covered Lepsius' discovery, and no archaeologist since was able to find it. They've also located missing sections of the Sphinx road. Thrilling place, Egypt. Even after all the digging there's still material to be uncovered.

"HOW'D THEY LOSE A PYRAMID?!?" Well, it's similar to losing a lighthouse, but on a much, much larger scale.

The reason there were so many dynasties and that they lasted so long is that the Egyptians worshiped cats. Of course. That is what my cats have discussed with me. More worship. Fewer baths.
