An Egyptian archeological mission discovered a funerary temple Saturday dating back over 4,000 years and belonging to Queen Nearit, wife of King Teti.

Famed Egyptian archeologist Zahi Hawass was in charge of the expedition in the Saqqara Necropolis.

The dig has been going on since 2007

The mission also found burial shafts, coffins with mummies, statues, stelae, toys, wooden boats and funerary masks plus a five meter (yard) long papyrus depicting chapter 17 of the book of the dead.

During excavations, 22 burial shafts were found and inside these shafts more than 50 wooden coffins uncovered, dating back to Egypt's New Kingdom.
