An Egyptian excavation team has discovered a new pyramid.

According to the Associated Press, the discovery includes the remains of the pyramid's interior and can be dated to about 3,700 years ago, from the 13th Dynasty. It is located south of Cairo in the Dashur royal necropolis. During that time in ancient Egypt, there was a fast turnover of kings with about 70 rulers in a space of 126 years.  

Archeologists found some of the writings on the slab.. However, it has not been translated yet by the Egyptian Antiquities Ministry. According to some Egyptologists, the said writings are religious text often used inside the pyramids and includes the name of the Pharaoh Ameny Qemau, the fifth king of Dynasty XIII, who briefly ruled around 1790 B.C.

The director general of the Dahshur Necropolis, Adel Okasha, said, in a statement that the pyramid-shaped upper section of the building is gone, the substructure remains.

"The uncovered remains of the pyramid represents a part of its inner structure, a corridor leading to the inner side of the pyramid and the hall which leads to a southern ramp and a room to the western end," Okasha said.

The structure was found near the Dahshur royal necropolis 25 miles south of Cairo, where King Sneferu built the Bent Pyramid, whose angle change halfway up, and the Red Pyramid, Egypt's first smooth-sided pyramid. Sneferu's son Khufu built the Great Pyramid of Giza, which is the oldest of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The newly discovered pyramid lies north of the Bent Pyramid and is predicted to have been built around 1,000 years after Sneferu and Khufu's time.
