- In Egypt, the 4,000-year-old Lahun Pyramid has opened its doors to the public for the first time.
- The pyramid has been closed since its 19th-century discovery, but the Egyptian ministry of Antiquities decided to open it up as a tourist attraction.
- A team of archaeologists from the Egyptian ministry of antiquities spent around a year clearing out the burial chamber inside the pyramid, which had been covered in rocks and debris since its discovery.
- A variety of artifacts were excavated and placed on display outside the pyramid, including "amulets, scarabs, shells, and chains," which were in pristine condition.
