Egyptian authorities have unearthed two ancient tombs in the southern city of Luxor. Wall inscriptions suggest the tombs belong to two notable figures from Egypt’s 18th dynasty pharaohs, who ruled some 3,500 years ago.
Egypt’s Antiquities Ministry said Saturday the tombs contained mummies, funerary seals, statues, clay pots and wall inscriptions.
Khaled al-Enany, the minister of antiquities, said the archeological discovery was made in the western city of Luxor, a city famous for its ancient monuments.
One tomb has five entrances leading to a hall, while the other has a six-meter burial shaft leading to four side chambers.
“Egypt will witness more archaeological discoveries in the period ahead,” al-Enany told reporters.
