Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, said that this discovery may indicate a large cemetery complex near one of the biggest pyramid. "This ancient tomb could be the first found in the area. We hope to find the tombs are intended for members of the trial period," said Hawass.
