  1. Pyramid of Unas

It was investigated by John Shae Perring Perring and then Karl Richard Lepsius Lepsius , but it was Gaston Maspero who first gained entry to the chambers in 1881, where he found texts covering the walls of the burial chambers. These together with others found in nearby pyramids of successive pharaohs are now known as the Pyramid Texts . He was the first pharaoh to include this, and he created the concept of having a number of magic spells inscribed on the walls of his tomb, intended to assist with the pharaoh s journey through the Duat and into the afterlife. This concept was thought to be so successful by other pharaohs that it soon evolved into the Coffin Texts in the Middle Kingdom of Egypt Middle Kingdom , and then into the Book of the Dead from the beginning of the New Kingdom of Egypt New Kingdom until the end of the History of Ptolemaic Egypt Ptolemaic Period , when new texts began appearing. In the burial chamber itself the remains of a mummy were found, including the skull, right arm and shin, but whether these belong to Unas is not certain.
