New Tombs Discovered in Egypt Jan 2024

A cemetery from the Second Dynasty and a number of burials and archaeological finds... a new discovery in the Saqqara archaeological area
The joint Egyptian-Japanese archaeological mission between the Supreme Council of Antiquities and Kanazawa University succeeded in uncovering a rock tomb and a number of architectural elements, burials and archaeological finds from different historical eras, during its current excavation season inside and above the Catacombs tombs in the Saqqara archaeological area.
The burials that were uncovered include the remains of a human burial of a man with a colored mask, and another burial of a young child, in addition to a number of burials from the Late and Ptolemaic eras that contain a coffin from the Eighteenth Dynasty in a poor state of preservation, with an alabaster vessel in good condition inside it.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I LEARNED A LOT.

Lots of digs going on at the moment at Saqqara, lots of Old age & Greek & Roman burials being unearthed, hope this answers your question. 😊

[@travelingman777]

how old is this?? Washery ?? has been gone for years,

[@PandorassBoxx]

Yeah it doesn’t look very phenomenal to be honest, faces are a bit creepy and not the best way done. Compare it to sarcophaguses from Bull temple - different civilization for sure

Anything post Alexander is of no interest in Egypt
