At the Giza Pyramids in Egypt, archaeologists have found the head of the sixth ruler of the Egyptian dynasty Ankhesenpepi II.
According to foreign media, the wooden head of a natural size was found by a team of French and Swiss archaeologists near the land near the royal temple in the Giza Necropolis.
The Queen of the Sixth Kingdoms dynasty, Ankhesenpepi II, was born as a representative of a common people, but then, her sister Ankhesenpepi I, married Pharaoh Peppi I, and their child Merenre was born. Later, however, her younger sister, Ankhesenpepi II, married Pharaoh Peppi I, but when he died in the year 2350 BC, the queen married her sister-son Merenra.
Although evidence suggests that Ankhesenpepi II was not born in an aristocratic family, she is one of the most inspirational rulers in Egyptian history.
Just shortly before this discovery, the archaeologists in the same area found the apex of the stone, which was made of granite and was probably part of the queen's temple.
"It is a promising area that could reveal more of its secrets soon," said Mostafa Waziri, the secretary-general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Egypt.
