A large tomb of the unknown Pharaoh was discovered in Egypt

The discovery in the city was made by Egyptian and American archaeologists. The tomb of the unknown Pharaoh is about 3,600 years old.

The tomb has a decorated entrance and several rooms. The limestone tomb chamber itself is nearly five meters high and is topped with a vault made of dried bricks. The facility is located in the ancient cemetery, known as Mount Anubis, where local rulers of bydos were buried, who ruled in the upper Egypt in the second transitional period (18th-16th centuries PNE).

The newly discovered monument is larger than the tomb of Pharaoh Weseribre Seneb Kaja, unearthed in the same archaeological position, was the first material evidence of the local dynasty of the Bydos dynasty.

Archaeologists did not discover the remains and equipment of a new tomb. It is not known who the ruler was for whom it was built. However, the paintings on the plasters depicting the goddesses of Izis and the nephtic have survived.

“This tomb and tomb Seneb Kaja are the oldest preserved royal graves with painted interior decorations,” Dr. Josef Wegner from the Pennsylvania University in Philadelphia, the USA, who managed the American part of the Archaeologists team told the New York Times. The news of the discovery of the new grave was already given by the Ministry of Tourism and the antiquity of Egypt in mid -March, but the “New York Times” described the new details of the find on Thursday. – This is a new chapter in the study of this dynasty – emphasized Wegner. He added that the tomb was still looted in ancient times and inscriptions that would identify the person buried there.

According to researchers, the rulers probably only controlled the area around this city and are not included in the list of pharaohs prepared in ancient times. The monumental nature of the tomb and the fact that the rulers from this dynasty titled “kings”, however, indicates that they had wider aspirations – added another archaeologist Matthew Adams.

In February, the authorities of Egypt informed about the discovery of the tomb of the died nearly 3500 years ago Pharaoh Totmes II near the Valley of the Kings in the south of the country. It was the first such find since 1922, when Tutankhamon's tomb was discovered.
