Prof. Zahi Hawass said I felt that we should call it the Imhotep Museum in tribute to the first architect to use stone rather than perishable materials for construction on a large scale. This man was second only to the King and in the late period was worshipped as a god. Museum contents The Museum also has a hall dedicated to a man, an important Egyptologist who excavated the Djoser complex all his life the French Egyptologist Jean Philippe Lauer . The Museum has five large halls in which one may admire masterpieces from Saqqara such as a Greco Roman mummy discovered by Zahi Hawass during excavation at Teti s pyramid complex, and the magnificent pair of statues of High Priest of Mut Amenemhotep and his wife, from the 19th Dynasty , found near the causeway of the Unas complex. In the entrance hall the visitor is welcomed by a fragment of the Djoser statue on which it is possible to read the name of the king and for the first time in history the name of the architect Imhotep . This find was initially in the great Egyptian Museum in Cairo . The second hall displays recent finds which will be rotated in the display. The third hall is dedicated to Imhotep s architecture, and exhibits examples of elements from the Step Pyramid Complex. The fourth hall is called Saqqara style and shows vessels and statues in wood and stone. The fifth hall is called Saqqara tomb and displays objects used in burials from the 6th Dynasty through the New Kingdom .

Muhammed Zakaria Goneim alt. spelling Muhammad Zakar ya Ghunaim , 1905 1959 was an Egyptians Egyptian archaeologist , known for his discoveries in and around Saqqara . He is best known for discovering the Step pyramid of Sekhemkhet . Before World War II , Goneim worked at Saqqara on temple on Unas . He spent the war in Luxor and then returned to Saqarra to work on the Step Pyramid of Sekhemkhet in close association with Jean Philippe Lauer Lauer who was working on the Step Pyramid of Djoser . He thought he had found an intact burial, as the seals of the alabaster sarcophagus were undamaged, and funerary wreaths lay atop the sarcophagus. There was tremendous media attention, and he invited high state officials, journalists, reporters and film teams to the opening. But on opening the sarcophagus, it proved to be empty. They dig for three years and find nothing, one newspaper reported. There was consequent popular disappointment, although the discovery was still an important one for Egyptology. The Egyptian President Nasser visited the site, and commended Goneim for his work. After this he went on a lecture tour of the USA. He also wrote a book, The buried pyramid , with the aid of Leonard Cottrell, in order to publicise the work further. The book was a success, and was translated into several languages. But he was already in trouble at home, where official harassment had begun. He was eventually falsely accused of smuggling a large, valuable vessel that Quibell and Lauer had found two years earlier near in the Djoser complex out of the country. There was no hard evidence, only accusations and slander. But it devastated Goneim, who was Egyptian himself. He was repeatedly interrogated by the police. His friend Jean Philippe Lauer attempted to help him by searching for the missing item. In 1959, he tracked the missing vessel to a corner of the Egyptian Museum s depository. But it was too late. The perpetual harassment was too much, and he was either murdered o ... more details
