Also it has a twenty meter deep burial shaft with a wooden coffin in addition to five stone plates with duck forms that contained duck bones as well as a small stone obelisk. The other tomb was for Sen-Dewa’s son Khonsu who inherited the same job titles and it has a similar design. Both tombs are located west of the step pyramid. Akhbar Newspaper. Copyrig ©Musegypt 。
