She is only known from her burial at Dahshur . Next to the pyramid of king Senusret III were found underground galleries as a burial place for royal women. Most of the burials were found looted, but there were two boxes for jewellery overlooked by tomb robbers. Both boxes contained an outstanding collection of jewellery. They were called the first and the second treasure of Dahshur. The first treasure was discovered on 6 March 1894 and belonged most likely once to Sithathor. Several scarabs with her name were found. The treasure contained a pectoral with the names of king Senusret II, one of the masterpieces of Egyptian goldwork. Other objects were golden shells, golden bracelets, a mirror and several stone vases. Sithathor is not known for sure outside her tomb. She was perhaps a daughter of Senusret III, but it is also possible that she was the daughter of Senusret II and buried as sister of king Senusret III next to him.

Nebit is only known from his big mastaba excavated next to the pyramid of the king at Dahshur . The mastaba was built of mud bricks and then covered with stones. Already in ancient times the high quality stone was looted and used for other building projects or just for burning lime. However, one wall of the mastaba facade collapsed already in ancient times. This part of the facade felt to the ground and was covered by sand before stone looters dismanteld the rest of the building. The preserved facade bears the name and title of Nebit, but also the name of the king. The underground burial chamber of Nebit was already robbed when found. However, next to the burial chamber of Nebit, there was the one for a woman called Satwerut, perhaps the wife of Nebit. Her chamber was found intact and still contained the coffins of the lady, her canopic jars and jewellery.

On an offering table he bears the title of the Treasurer Ancient Egypt treasurer , an office he most likely had before being appointed vizier. The mastaba is in a chain of three north of the king s pyramid. It is closest to the pyramid.

Unreferenced auto yes date December 2009 Image John Shae Perring.jpg thumb John Shae Perring John Shae Perring 1813 &ndash 1869 was a Kingdom of Great Britain British engineer , anthropologist and Egyptologist , most notable for his work excavating and documenting Egyptian pyramid s. In the field of Egyptology his work is fairly obscure and his anthropological work is even more obscure. In 1837 Perring and British archaeologist Richard William Howard Vyse began excavating at Giza they were later joined by Giovanni Battista Caviglia . They used gunpowder to force their way into several monuments and then to reach hidden chambers within them, such as the burial chamber of the pyramid of Menkaure , documenting them as they went. When Caviglia left the team to work independently, Perring became Vyse s assistant and when Vyse himself left for England in 1837 Perring continued the excavation with Vyse s financial support. As part of his work Perring created several maps, plans and cross sections of the pyramids at Abu Roasch, Gizeh, Abusir, Saqqara and Dahshur . He was the first to explore the interior of the Pyramid of Userkaf at Saqqara in 1839, through a robber s tunnel first discovered by Orazio Marucchi in 1831. Perring thought the pyramid belonged to Djedkare . The pyramid was first correctly identified by Egyptologist Cecil Mallaby Firth Cecil Firth in 1928 though Firth died in 1931 and excavations there only recommenced in 1948, under Jean Philippe Lauer . Perring added some graffiti inside the Red Pyramid at Dahshur , which can still be viewed today. Perring s work resulted in his three volume The Pyramids of Gizeh , published in 1839 to 1842.

The mastaba was decorated with a palace facade and with scenes showing Siese and his family. Four panels with the image of Siese in front of an offering table were excavated by de Morgan and are now on display in the Egyptian Museum of Cairo.
