The Supreme Council of Antiquities will finish during the coming period a project for developing "El-lesht" monuments, Middle Kingdom's capital including features of its history. The history of El-lesht remains a mystery as most of its secrets and treasures are still burried under the earth in an area called "Bakr Area".
An antiquity resource said that "El-lesht" village was called in the Pharaonic Era "Atht Tawi" which means holding territerians. The village was the capital of Egypt in the Dynasties era. The area is considered to be an extension to Manf cemetery located in south Dahshour area.
The saving project includes important points as decreasing the underwater as it affects the two royal burial rooms in the pyramids. The project also aims to restore the engravings of Sonasert Ankh including hundreds of the pyramids texts. The pyramids texts included the history of the Egyptian religion. The project also aims to dig holes to explore the new cemeteries as "An Gar Hotob" cemetery.
The resource added that King Amenhotep I was the first king to establish El-lesht area as he built his pryamental group which included El-wadi Temple, Ascending Road, Funeral Temple and his pyramid. Around his group there are the cemeteries of the State-men of his era. These cemeteries were discovered in the beginning of the late century by an American archeological mission.
After Amenhotep I, his son Sonasert I established his pryamental group parallel to El-Saudia village in Dahshour area. His group included El-wadi Temple, Ascending Road, Funeral Temple and his pyramid. Around his group there are the cemeteries of the State-men of his era as Amni the Army leader and Sonsert Ankh the Priest.
The historians emphasized that the history of the Middle Pharaonic Kingdom still buried under the earth and they think that solving the problem of the underwater is the key to discover all the Middle Pharaonic Kingdom monuments.
