Egypt: Archaeologists Uncover 3,600-Year-Old Tombs and Artifacts Near Luxor
by Karen Faulkner, Worthy News Correspondent
(Worthy News) – Egyptian Archaeologists on Wednesday announced the remarkable discovery of 3,600-year-old rock-cut tombs and artifacts during an excavation on the west bank of the Nile near the historic city of Luxor in Upper Egypt, The Media Line (TML) reports. With origins in ancient times, Luxor has been described as the “world’s greatest open-air museum.”
The discovery was made by researchers from the Zahi Hawass Foundation for Antiquities & Heritage and Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities who have Queen Hatshepsut’s funerary temple in Deir al-Bahri since September 2022, TML said.
The artifacts uncovered include bronze coins bearing the image of Alexander the Great, as well as clay toys, funerary masks, winged scarabs, and amulets, TML said. “A wooden coffin belonging to a young child, sealed since its burial 3,600 years ago, was also unearthed, along with archery bows suggesting a military background for some tomb owners,” TML noted in its report.
The archaeologists also unearthed a section of the Ptolemaic necropolis that was built over the remains of Queen Hatshepsut’s Valley Temple. The site revealed remains of the Temple together with Middle Kingdom tombs, and burial shafts from the 17th dynasty (1580 BC- 1550 BC) TML said.
“Earlier excavations of the cemetery in the 20th century were poorly documented, leaving gaps now being addressed,” TML noted.
