Egypt discovers 3,500-year-old royal tomb
Archaeologists have also found a pottery workshop from the Roman period
In Upper Egypt (southern Egypt), in the necropolis of Anubis in the city of Abydos, found a royal tomb, which is about 3.5 thousand years old. This was announced by the country's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, as reported by Daily News Egypt, a partner of TV BRICS.
“The discovery of the royal tomb in Abydos provides new scientific evidence on the development of royal burials at the Jebel Anubis necropolis, where these tombs date back to between 1700 and 1600 BC,” the ministry stated.
In addition, archaeologists found a pottery workshop from the Roman period in the nearby village of Banaweet. The find is believed to have been one of the largest production centres supplying ceramics to the region in antiquity.
Earlier, a pharaoh's tomb was found in Egypt for the first time since 1922. According to researchers, it could belong to Thutmose II of the XVIII dynasty of pharaohs of ancient Egypt (ruled approximately 1492-1479 BC).
