THE lost tomb of an ancient Egyptian royal doctor that dabbled in “magic” has been uncovered.
Teti Neb Fu’s burial place was found in the southern part of Saqqara, a vast burial ground often described as a “city of the dead”.

His stunning tomb is believed to have been built around 4,000 years ago – and its luxurious design shows how important the doctor was in life.
Teti Neb Fu (or Tetinebefou) is believed to have been a doctor to the royal family, serving during the reign of King Pepi II.
It’s a “mastaba” tomb, which is a type of flat-roofed structure often used to mark the burials of important ancient Egyptians.
The tomb was discovered as part of a joint French-Swiss archaeological mission.
Teti Nebu Fu is described as a doctor and “magician”.
In ancient Egypt, magicians were seen as a kind of sorcerer, using staffs and wands as well as magical phrases and writings.
It’s believed that Teti Neb Fu was a “magician” of the Egyptian goddess Serket.
This was the goddess of healing venomous stings and bites – suggesting that Teti Neb Fu was skilled at that kind of treatment.
He’s also named as the “chief dentist and director of medicinal plants” on his sarcophagus.
This skill may explain why he was given such a high position, as well as a beautifully decorated tomb.
“The tomb is adorned with stunning carvings and vibrant artwork,” said Egypt‘s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.
“Including a beautifully painted false door and scenes of funerary offerings.”
Sadly, archaeologists discovered a tragic secret: there was “evidence of ancient looting”.
This means there may have been treasures inside the tomb that have long since vanished.

A brief history of Ancient Egypt
Here's everything you need to know...
The Ancient Egyptians were an advanced civilisation who at one point ruled over a huge portion of the globe
The civilisation was founded about 5,000 years ago when ancient people set up villages along the River Nile
It lasted for about 3,000 years and saw the building of complex cities centuries ahead of their time – as well as the famous Great Pyramids
The Ancient Egyptians were experts at farming and construction
They invented a solar calendar, and one of the world’s earliest writing systems: The hieroglyph
The Egyptians were ruled by kings and queens called pharaohs
Religion and the afterlife were a huge part of Ancient Egyptian culture. They had over 2,000 gods
Pharaohs built huge elaborate tombs to be buried in, some of which were pyramids – at the time among the largest structures in the world
The Egyptians believed in life after death, and important people’s corpses were mummified to preserve their bodies for the afterlife
The Ancient Egyptian empire fell in 30BC due to a mix of factors, including wars with other empires and a 100-year period of drought and starvation
But thankfully most of the tomb is well-preserved.
“The tomb’s walls remain intact, offering a rare glimpse into daily life and cultural practices during the Old Kingdom,” the Egyptian ministry explained.
“The team also discovered a stone sarcophagus with inscriptions bearing the physician’s name and titles.”
The ministry added: “This incredible find adds to Saqqara’s rich legacy as one of Egypt’s most significant archaeological sites.”

Pepi II Neferkare was a pharaoh in Egypt’s Old Kingdom.
He’s believed to have ascended to the throne aged six, reining from around 2278 BC.
His reign has been linked to a declining of the Old Kingdom, and he died at some time around 2216BC or 2184BC.
Nefekare, his second name, means “Beautiful is the Ka of Re”.

What is the curse of the pharaohs?
The curse of the pharaohs is an alleged hex that some believe is cast on anyone who disturbs an Ancient Egyptian mummy, especially a pharaoh.
It’s said to caused bad luck, illness or even death and apparently does not differentiate between archaeologists and thieves.
The legend is often connected to King Tutankhamun and the people who passed away after opening his tomb in 1922.
Eight of those involved – including Howard Carter, the British archaeologist who led the expedition – died in the years following the tomb’s discovery.
It’s earned the supposed spell the nickname “King Tut’s curse”.
Needless to say, experts rubbish any claims of a hex surrounding Ancient Egypt’s mummies.
Sceptics have pointed out that dozens of people who visited Tut’s tomb or helped to discover it lived long and healthy lives.
2 weeks agoNews PlusComments Off on Mikel Arteta is in the doghouse with Arsenal fans and running out of time to show he has pedigree to end trophy drought
IT IS A WELL KNOWN fact that dogs learn through repetition.
Especially their names. Call it over and over again and soon your clever pooch will be your loyal pal performing tricks for treats.
AFPMikel Arteta is under pressure to win another trophy with Arsenal[/caption]
APArteta won the FA Cup with Arsenal just months after taking over but is yet to secure any other titles[/caption]
So spare a thought for Arsenal’s poor pet chocolate labrador.
That is not a word being heard quite as often as it should at London Colney today. At least not when it comes to getting over the line and winning a trophy.
A crushing home defeat to Newcastle in last night’s Carabao Cup semi final first leg leaves Arteta licking his wounds after blowing a great chance of silverware.
Win will be licking other bodily parts as per usual.
The concept of having a dog at a Premier League training ground is a positive one even if the choice of name is so North London and cringey.
And there is no doubt that Arteta has re-energised Arsenal in the five years since he took over as manager in December 2019.
But Tuesday’s inglorious stuffing feels like a barometer moment in the Spaniard’s time at the club. And the pressure is increasing.
GettyArteta introduced a dog named Win to the training ground two years ago[/caption]
As if to ram the message home in terms that Win would understand – Arsenal have let the lead slip five times this season – twice against Brighton but more importantly against their main rivals Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea. Boom boom.
All of those games ended in draws, dropping vital points in the title race in the process.
Arteta won the FA Cup at the end of his first half season in charge – breathing life into a flatlining football giant in December 2019 when taking over from the uninspiring Unai Emery.
But since then there has been nothing tangible to celebrate. No open top bus parade through the London Borough of Islington where skipper Martin Odegaard can show off a shiny cup.
Since the FA Cup win four and a half years ago, even car-crash Manchester United have won something. And they are considered a laughing stock, now taking a punt on their third manager since Arteta took over the reins at the Emirates with a mission to make Arsenal great again.
The Geordies are renowned as serial chokers. Seven times losers in the FA Cup Final, twice in the League Cup, even throwing it away five times in the old Charity Shield. Without a major domestic trophy in 70 years.
Succumbing to the Toon at home in such a feeble way does not mean Arteta’s time is up. Far from it, even if social media tells a different story with the notoriously fickle Gooners jumping on their keyboards over their chai lattes to ensure ‘Arteta Out’ has been trending.
His 59.2 percent win rate is superior to that of his immediate predecessor Unai Emery and surprisingly better than that of Arsene Wenger – the man who laid the foundations for modern Arsenal.
The French legend won 57.3% of his 1235 games. But Arteta has had only 262 so far which makes it slightly easier to maintain a higher ratio of victories.
Wenger also had the Premier League in the bag in his second season – ripping the trophy from the best Manchester United team of all time led by the most successful British manager in history in Alex Ferguson.
Arteta has enjoyed three full seasons of goodwill as he attempts a similar assault on football’s Mount Everest, overhauling Manchester City’s imperious four-in-a-row champions.
EPAThe Gunners suffered a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup semi-final on Tuesday[/caption]
GettyAlexander Isak was a thorn in Arsenal’s side again[/caption]
That’s a big ask and the club and the fans have been patient up to now. It’s still too early to panic but there is a growing fear Arsenal have reached a ceiling unless bold moves are made.
Their arch-tormentor Alexander Isak, opening scorer against them last night, is a £150 million transfer target.
Kai Havertz is only three goals behind Isak this season but will never be the consistent out-and-out centre forward they so painfully lack. Neither is Gabriel Jesus.
It’s curious that in more than five years Arteta has overseen a net spend of £483.79 million but he is yet to find a player like Isak to lead the forward line with such venom.
Wenger got away without one too for donkey’s years but then he had Thierry Henry and few players compare favourably to the masterful Frenchman.
It is no shame to have finished second in the Premier League twice in succession to imperious Man City.
But the dominant force in English football suddenly looks fallible so there’s a big excuse for failure gone.
Champions League quarter finals last season, the last 16 of the Europa League the year before that. Gallant defeats but defeats nonetheless.
The title race looks beyond them this season. Third time in a row.
Arteta is a bright, young, energetic coach with a lengthy managerial career ahead of him at only 42.
And if he takes Arsenal up to St.James’ Park next month and turns Newcastle over in a stunning second leg comeback to get to Wembley, ignore all of the above.
But for now time is not on his side as the clock keeps ticking and Arsenal’s near-misses mount up.
Arsenal ratings vs Newcastle as Havertz fluffs golden chance with academy statlet the only bright light for Gunners
ARSENAL have a mountain to climb to reach the Carabao Cup final after a shock 2-0 first-leg defeat to Newcastle.
Here SunSport’s Jordan Davies rates every Arsenal player on a disappointing night at the Emirates…
DAVID RAYA – 6/10
Looked nervy with ball at feet at times but could do nothing to stop Alexander Isak’s brilliant close-range finish.
Unlucky to see his palmed save tapped in by Anthony Gordon.
MYLES LEWIS-SKELLY – 8
The academy product was very impressive again. Turned out of danger well at both ends of the pitch. So calm under pressure.
GABRIEL – 6
Gave Isak far too much space to manoeuvre a shot in the box before the Toon’s second. Wasteful and ineffective from corners.
WILLIAM SALIBA – 6
Had an early effort blocked near the line by Dan Burn. Was dealing with Isak well until losing a header to Sven Botman that saw the Toon striker score.
JURRIEN TIMBER – 5
Missed an absolute sitter from a yard out from a corner.
Was then caught sleeping just after the break to allow Gordon to double Newcastle’s lead.
THOMAS PARTEY – 6
Linked defence and attack fairly well without ever really doing anything spectacular.
DECLAN RICE – 6
Plays Jacob Murphy onside from a flicked on free-kick that leads to Newcastle taking the lead.
Took more responsibility in the second half on the ball.
MARTIN ODEGAARD – 7
Heavily man-marked by Joelinton but looked back to his very best after a spate of illness.
GABRIEL MARTINELLI – 8
Much more direct in his running. Unlucky not to open the scoring with his driven shot hitting the post after a half-way line sprint.
Continued to be positive in his play – just lacked the finishing touch.
LEANDRO TROSSARD – 6
Sneakily got away with dragging Isak down to stop the Swede joining a Newcastle counter in the first half and a good first-time pass to set Martinelli away. Those were his only highlights.
KAI HAVERTZ – 5
May just be back from a sickness bug, but the big German did very little, apart from somehow fluffing a header wide unmarked from six yards.
SUBS:
JORGINHO (PARTEY, 59) – 7
Some nice passes into dangerous areas and sprayed the ball about with conviction.
GABRIEL JESUS (TROSSARD, 59) – 6
Lively and sharp without every really testing Newcastle’s back four or goal.
OLEKSANDR ZINCHENKO (LEWIS-SKELLY, 77) – 5
Booked within a minute of coming on for a rash challenge on Joelinton.
2 weeks agoNews PlusComments Off on Racing chiefs set to stage jumps meeting at Ffos Las on Saturday in bid to avoid second weekend weather wipeout
RACING chiefs are hoping to avoid another Saturday without any jumps racing by staging a meeting in Wales this weekend.
The BHA have arranged a last-minute fixture at Ffos Las, where the track is currently raceable and the forecast for the weekend is favourable.
GettyFfos Las is set to stage an additional jumps meeting on Saturday[/caption]
The additional fixture would be subject to 24 hour declarations, given the tight turnaround in getting the meeting on.
It will be a seven-race card with four hurdle races, two chases and a National Hunt Flat race.
Saturday’s big meeting at Warwick is almost certain to be abandoned, with the track currently frozen in places and an inspection planned for 8.30am on Thursday.
Wetherby are set to cancel their Towton Chase fixture and the outlook for Kempton’s Lanzarote Hurdle card is also bleak, with the threat of snow and freezing temperatures in the south east.
But temperatures are likely to remain above freezing at Ffos Las on Friday and Saturday and they are set to fill the void, with the meeting set to be aired on ITV.
It is unclear whether any of the feature races at Kempton or Warwick will be re-routed to Ffos Las at this stage.
Clerk of the course Tracey O’Meara said: “We meeting was programmed this afternoon and we will have a seven-race card.
“We look like we are going to be quite lucky with the forecast over the next few days, temperatures will be around seven degrees on Saturday.
“It wasn’t too difficult a process getting the meeting on from scratch. If we were racing today we’d have been good to go.
“As far as I’m aware entries will be made tomorrow and declarations on Friday morning.”
Jumps racing has been decimated over the last week, with Newbury’s Thursday card and both Friday’s meetings at Huntingdon and Doncaster the latest to fall by the wayside.
Taunton, however, did go ahead on Wednesday where co-trainers Philip Hobbs and Johnson White enjoyed a treble.
