Qar ( 2350 BC – 2300 BC)

Adil Hussein discovered his tomb north of the pyramid of Sekhemkhet in 2001. As with many other tombs in Saqqara, his tomb was re-used several times.

Beside his mummy in the limestone sarcophagus, there were metal (bronze ) model tools that were entombed alongside his remains. In press reports following the discovery of the tomb and in several publications, they are regarded as surgical instruments. It was stated that they might be the oldest surgical tools in the world. They, his mummy and the rest of the findings are in the Imhotep Museum at Saqqara.
