All too often unfairly forgotten Abu Rawash necropolis M of the Early Dynastic Period Abu Rawash lies 8 km to the northwest of the Giza Plateau and 15 km to the west of Cairo. Its archaeological region belongs to the northern end of the Memphite Necropolis The discovery of this cemetery by Montet in 1913 and 1914 was an event in the history of protodynastique research has been left in the shade for too long. but: Starting in 2007 the French Archaeological Institute (IFAO),initiated a re-excavation of the 1st Dynasty M Cemetery The Early Dynastic tombs discovered at the M Cemetery are elite mastaba tombs with mud brick superstructures, their facades decorated with recessed niches. These are massive structures comparable to fortified walls. Niching on the mastabas is similar to that of the earliest serekh panels, which are stylised representations of the palace-façade. The substructures of the tombs were cut into the rock. Each of the tombs consists of anopen pit and side chambers. The dead may have been buried in one of the side chambers, with the other chambers devoted to offering material. Around the mastabas were rows of secondary burials forming a cluster of tombs sometimes surrounded by an enclosure wall that includes the main burial and secondary burials. The Abu Rawash mastabas are clearly among the most striking examples of early monumental architecture in Egypt.
