In 1936, during the excavation of Mastaba Sabu (grave 3111, c. 3100-3000 BC) in Saqqara, a disc was discovered by the Egyptologist Walter Brian Emeray, which was divided into three parts. Sabu was the son of Pharaoh Anedjib (the fifth ruler of the first dynasty of ancient Egypt).
This mysterious disc was found among pottery, bones, and several other stone objects that Sabu wished to take with him to the afterlife.
The device is approximately 23.5 inches in diameter and slightly over 4 inches in height. Although it was originally thought to have been carved from slate, the disc turned out to be made of metasylt stone, a material frequently used by Egyptian carvers for its ability to withstand delicate, detailed work without breaking. Other vessels found in this tomb are also carved from this dense stone.
As a wide, flat ball with three slender, raised petals, the shape of the object, which resembles a three-blade propeller with a center hole, suggests that it was mounted on an axle.
