The missing sections of the so-called Sphinx road and the bottom part of an unknown pyramid in Sakkara area have been discovered in southwest Cairo, the Egyptian Supreme Council for Antiquities (SCA) said on Tuesday. Secretary General of Egyptian Supreme Council for Antiquities Zahi Hawass also announced the discovery of the bottom part of a pyramid, which was believed to belong to King Menkauhor (from 2,444 B.C. to2,436 B.C.) of the Fifth Dynasty.

Fixing and developing the Nazlet Al-Semman drainage system is the main solution to the problem of the rising water table in front of the Sphinx.
