An Egyptian archeological mission discovered stones and sarcophaguses at a cemetery dating back to Ramsis II in the Sakara district.

Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities Dr Zahi Hawwas said among the discoveries was a sarcophagus of a woman hailing from the royal doctor at the time.

The mission also recovered a big stone, which served as a foundation for the cemetery, along with 50 stones inscribed with the name of King Zoser, his wife and daughter.
