Ancient tombs around 4,000 years old have been discovered in Egypt
Fresh as the day they were painted, five spectacular tombs around 4,000 years old have been unearthed in Egypt. The graves were discovered earlier this month in the Saqqara Necropolis, 15 miles south of Cairo. Some are believed to be from the Old Kingdom – spanning roughly 2700BC to 2200BC – while the others are from the First Intermediate Period, lasting a century after. Archeologists found burial shafts, walls decorated with hieroglyphics, figurines and images of sacred animals and afterlife items.
