Saqqara - Street of Tombs

A short distance east of Kagemni's tomb, to the north of the Pyramid of Teti, we come to a street of tombs, with some interesting sixth Dynasty tombs, which was excavated by Loret in 1899 but is now partly covered by sand. The first of the tombs to be encountered is the badly ruined Tomb of Nefer-seshem-re or Sheshi, a Judge and Vizier, the chief remains of which are a hall with six square pillars, each bearing a figure of the dead man, and an elegant false door.
