What has been found by archeologists near the base of the pyramids?

Archeologists recently discovered that there is a cemetery near the base of the pyramids in Giza. The cemetery is located on the Giza Plateau, the area where the pyramids are located. While it's understood that the pyramids act as burial spaces for some pharaohs, the cemetery is the burial site of prominent officials from the Old Kingdom’s Fifth Dynasty—more than 4000 years ago.
Along with the sarcophagi of kingdom officials and priests, archaeologists in Egypt have found statues, carvings, and artwork throughout the buried cemetery. Mostafa Waziri, the secretary general of the supreme council of antiquities in Egypt, was quoted saying,

The cemetery houses burial shafts and tombs of top officials . . . One tomb belongs to a priest and judge named Behnui-Ka as well as an official named Nwi, who was a chief of the great state, overseer of the new settlements and the purifier of King Khafre. (Fox News, May 2019)

The tombs' excavation is just one of many recent discoveries throughout Egypt of new tombs and burial grounds. Continued excavation will provide more insight into the use of the cemetery on the Giza Plateau, while experts continue to examine the already unearthed artifacts.
