Administrative offices were situated on the eastern side of the temple complex, while warehouses for perishable goods were located to the north. The team also rediscovered the tomb of “Sahtep-Ib-Re” in the northwest, initially documented by archaeologist Quibell in 1896. The press release notes that its walls are adorned with painted scenes depicting the tomb owner’s funeral.
Finally, in the northeast section, a significant number of tombs with burial chambers and shafts were excavated, yielding an impressive array of artifacts and human remains. Among the remarkable relics found were scattered bones, canopic jars, funerary tools, interlocking coffins, and 401 ushabti figurines crafted from pottery.
Dr. Mohamed Ismail, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, stated that these findings have illuminated the temple’s long and intricate history and have opened new avenues for understanding its crucial role in ancient Egypt.
