Archaeologists have uncovered a tomb dating back over 4,000 years in the Saqqara necropolis of Egypt, as reported by Heritage Daily. This burial site is believed to be the final resting place of Teti Neb Fu, a prominent physician who served during the reign of Pharaoh Pepi II, between 2278 and 2184 BCE.
Teti Neb Fu held several important roles, including that of the royal palace doctor and a priest of the healing goddess Selket. He significantly contributed to the development of the ancient empire's healthcare system, which included non-invasive surgeries, dental care, and medicinal treatments.
The walls of the chamber are richly adorned with intricate carvings and symbols, which have remarkably survived despite historical looting. Additionally, the tomb contained a stone sarcophagus inscribed with the deceased's name and titles.
The ceiling is painted red and crafted to resemble granite.
