Saqqara: The Sacred Animal Necropolis: block 2
The area was excavated by W.B. Emery in 1970-1972. Block 2 was once either a domestic or administrative building complex. Block 3 was a large open sunken courtyard. It is possible that it is identical with a structure called pA inHii pA Hb pA bik (the courtyard of the Ibis and the Falcon), mentioned in Demotic texts.
