Egypt says archaeologists have found a pharaonic tomb in Luxor housing the remains of a priest who oversaw the mummification process and his wife, dating from the 13th century B.C.
The tomb, which is on the West Bank of the Nile near the Valley of the Kings, is that of Thaw-Rakht-If - the overseer of the mummification shrine at Mut temple.
Antiquities Minister Khaled el-Anani said Saturday the tomb contains decorative sarcophagi (stone coffins) a thousand statuettes, as well as several colorful paintings of pharaonic royalty.
Incredible photographs show a view inside the newly discovered tomb at al-Assassif Necropolis, which is 435 miles (700km) south of Cairo, Egypt's capital.
El-Enany described the newly discovered intact sarcophagus inside the tomb as magnificent. It is carved in wood with eyes inlaid with golden sheets.
Mostafa Waziri, Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities explained that after removing 300 meters of debris the mission uncovered the tomb, the wall of which is decorated with scenes depicting the deceased's family, including his wife Kharousekhmet-Nefret.
Inside the tomb two huge wooden anthropoid sarcophagi were found but studies revealed that they do not belong to the owner of the tombs but to two different people from a later period named Padiset and his daughter Nesmutamu, both are in a good condition.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
