The Egyptian archaeological mission, a collaboration between the Supreme Council of  Antiquities and the Zahi Hawass Foundation for Archaeology and Heritage, headed by renowned Egyptologist Zahi Hawass, uncovered the tomb of Prince Waser-If-Re.

Waser-If-Re is the son of King Userkaf, the founding monarch of Egypt’s Fifth Dynasty. His tomb was found alongside several significant artefacts spanning the Old Kingdom and the Late Period.
