This box, including the side lid, was made of one piece of white to transparent alabaster. Its design is a completely unique case compared to all other so-called sarcophagi found in Egypt. It has a completely unique entrance from the side of the sliding door. In addition, the two pieces (box and door) fit together with absolute precision.

Box was found in 1956 by a team of archaeologists. There was still the original intact plaster seal on the door. But the box itself was empty. Dried flowers tied to a necklace were found on top of the box.

The box is located in a room that is located below the center of the pyramid. Archaeologists believe the pyramid was never completed. The room itself is roughly finished.

Gold bracelets and a small gold box in the shape of a seashell were found in the next room. The name Sekhemkhet was on it.

The ancient Greek historian Herodotus states in his work that the first boxes, referred to in the mainstream as sarcophagi, were carved from a special type of stone that ate the body inside. As sarkofagos lithos ("Meat-eating stones") were mainly referred to as boxes made of limestone mined at Asso in Troska. This feature was later attributed to all in ancient Egypt.

Whether or not the pyramid was completed is debatable, as we know from other sources that a catastrophe occurred at some point that damaged most of the pyramids. She even scattered some to pieces.

Since no body was found in the box, archaeologists again engaged in an evasive maneuver, marking the tomb as stolen and assigning the pyramid, which is not described, to Sekhemkhet on the basis of a small gold box with his name.

Again, we need to take into account the fact that we can not determine when the building as a whole was completed and how many times it was reused (modified or reconstructed) by different generations of people in ancient history. Generations that, moreover, could only have very superficial information about the fundamental functioning of this construction and the box itself. After all - we're doing the same.
