"The only copy of the Egyptian vizier Merefnebef’s 3rd millennium B.C. tomb is in Warsaw’s National Museum – Prof. Karol Myśliwiec heading the Polish archaeological mission in Saqqara told us. This was down to the decision made by the initiators of the project – the Polish Academy of Science (PAN) and the National Museum. The real tomb, containing unique reliefs and paintings was found in 1997 in Saqqara, Egypt by Polish archaeologists headed by Prof. Myśliwiec. This was one of the biggest Polish archaeological successes."
