Archaeologists have made a remarkable discovery in Luxor, Egypt, unearthing an ancient tomb containing 11 sealed burials
This significant find, announced on November 2, 2024, was made by a joint Egyptian-American team working in the South Asasif necropolis, adjacent to the Temple of Hatshepsut.
The tomb dates back to the Middle Kingdom, specifically between 1938 B.C. and 1630 B.C.
The tomb appears to have been a family burial site, with coffins for five women, two men, and three children, indicating that it was used across generations during the 12th and early 13th Dynasties
Despite ancient floods damaging many wooden coffins and linen wrappings, valuable artifacts such as jewelry and a figurine were found intact, highlighting the tomb's historical significance
