Bubasteion of Saqqara, Archaeological burial site in Saqqara, Egypt
The Bubasteion consists of numerous tombs carved into limestone cliffs near Memphis, featuring detailed wall paintings and architectural elements from ancient Egypt.
The complex dates back to different periods of ancient Egyptian history, with structures built during both the Old Kingdom and New Kingdom periods.
Ancient Egyptians dedicated this sacred area to Bastet, the feline goddess, and used it as a burial ground for cats and sites for religious ceremonies.
Visitors need separate tickets to access specific areas within the Bubasteion complex, and guided tours provide detailed information about the tomb structures.
Archaeologists discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun's wet nurse, Maia, within the Bubasteion complex, containing preserved hieroglyphic inscriptions and wall decorations.
