Archaeologists have been working at a site called Jabal al-Tayr in the Minya region of Egypt, uncovering two early dynastic tombs, and these tombs apparently provide new evidence about how Egyptian funerary architecture developed in the centuries before the pyramid age.

Mainstream media outlets are running headlines like “5,000-year-old tombs in Minya may reveal pyramid origins” and “5,000-year-old tombs found in Minya rewrite the origins of Egyptian pyramid architecture”, but what's the truth?

In this video I'll take a closer look at the discovery in Minya, Egypt and evaluate the media headlines. Have we really discovered a pyramid building missing link?
