Dr. Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA), said that the seal impression bears the name of a top governmental official who lived during the old Babylonian era, during the reign of king Hammurabi (1792-1750 BC).There's not much news about the 5th Dynasty when the Old Kingdom started to collapse so this press report is important. (OK, Hummarabi was 1st Dynasty - 1st Babylonian Dynasty - I'm talking Egypt here!) There's a very clear photo in the press release.
