Archaeologists say they have discovered the remains of a large pyramid built in honour of a prominent advisor to Pharoah Ramses II in the 19th dynasty.

The 12-metre structure, which is thought to have reached 15-metres, was found in Egypt by a team of scientists from the Free University of Brussels and the Universite de Liege in Belgium.

Professor Dimitri Laboury, who worked on the expedition on the Sheikh Abd el-Qurna hill, spoke to BBC Radio 5 live Breakfast.
