Scientists find Middle Kingdom tomb in Egypt
Other finds include rings, bracelets and chains made of red agate, blue and green faience
The archaeological mission made the discovery at the South Asasif necropolis near Luxor, uncovering the first Middle Kingdom tomb in the region, as well as many sealed burials and artefacts dating back nearly 4,000 years.
The find includes numerous burials of men, women and children that have remained intact for thousands of years, as reported by ahromonline.
Among the most notable finds are jewellery buried with the women and a number of other unique items.
While many of the burials have significant damage caused by ancient floods that destroyed wooden coffins and linen wrappings, more durable materials such as jewellery and pottery have survived well.
Other finds include rings, bracelets and chains made of red agate, blue and green faience, and inlaid stone decorated with animal-shaped amulets.

The total share of our products on the sales market is around 24.7 per cent. BRICS countries account for a quarter of all our products. Good-neighbourly relations with Kazakhstan are very important for us. Then come China and India. We primarily focus on these countries because they are our closest neighbours" -
