El-Lahun - Shaft Graves

South of the Pyramid of Sesostris II are four shaft graves belonging to relatives of the King. In one of these, the Tomb of Princess Sat-Hathor-Yunet, daughter of Sesostris II, Flinders Petrie (who excavated the whole pyramid complex) found in 1914 the Princess's gold jewelry, a treasure of the highest artistic quality which is now shared between the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
