Egypt unveils ‘one of a kind’ ancient tomb, expects more finds

The tomb was found in a buried ridge at the ancient necropolis of Saqqara. It was untouched and unlooted, Mostafa Waziri, secretary-general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, told reporters at the site. He described the find as “one of a kind in the last decades”.

The tomb dates from the rule of Neferirkare Kakai, the third king of the Fifth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom.

We probably won't have to wait very long for the reports to start filtering out because they want to rush the excavations, hoping to lure tourists back to Egypt... Finding an intact tomb, no matter what the social status of the interned person was, is really a big deal considering that even in antiquity it was pretty much a homegrown industry to loot tombs. I look forward to reading more about this in the near future.

Thanks min!

You know what is really amusing is that even in Palestine the one thing that the jews and arabs can agree on is the desirability of getting idiot xtian pilgrims to go there and have their wallets sucked dry. Somehow the Egyptians haven't figured that out.

Insh'allah, I suppose.
