Reportedly, in the 1950s, Sir Flanders Petrie discovered a “cemetery” [tomb?] in the present-day Eastern Delta Husseiniya in Sharkia Governorate, that was subsequently lost to the sand.

”The head of the central administration of the restoration, Ghareeb Sennel [*?], said that the tomb was discovered as a rocky cemetery built on top of a dikka consisting of a group of stone blocks, indicating that it had been carved in the mountain elsewhere and then transferred during the successive Pharaonic times to the present place.

Sinbel [*?] explained that the cemetery is a single block of rock weighing about 65 tons. Inside it was found a stone coffin, possibly basalt or diorite, and the remains of hieroglyphic text were engraved on one of its walls.”
