A view of a 'false door' shown near an area where a 2,300-year old mummy was discovered two weeks ago by the Sakkara pyramids south of Cairo, May 3, 2005. Egyptian antiquities officials say the mummy is possibly the 'most beautiful' found so far. They believe more mummies may be found in the same area. Small false doors where usually added in temples for ancient spiritual beliefs.
A brilliantly colored mummy. The unidentified mummy, from the 30th pharaonic dynasty, had been buried by sand in a 6 meter (20 feet) shaft.
