Archaeologists in Egypt reveal tomb of Ramses II's chief treasurer

(CNN) — Archaeologists in Egypt have uncovered the tomb of Batah-M-Woya, who was chief treasurer in the time of King Ramses II.
The tomb is located in Saqqara, a huge necropolis south of Cairo, according to a statement from Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities published Saturday.

I imagine there will be lots more to come out of this dig.

Isn't that cache of wooden coffins intrusive burials from the Late Period? Those photos look familiar, like they're from an earlier article & just being used like stock photos. This article is rather vague & less than informative.

It says "In January the authorities announced the wooden coffins." January was quite a while ago at this point. I suppose it counts!

This is just a press release from the team. We'll have to watch for more detailed info in Smithsonian or something similar.
