Amazement in Egypt: They found a tomb from the era of Thutmosis on the banks of the Nile and believe it belongs to a queen

An Anglo-Egyptian mission has found a tomb of an ancient monarch believed to belong to the Eighteenth Dynasty (1575 and 1295 BC) west of the shore River Nile in Luxorin southern Egypt, Egyptian authorities reported on Saturday.

The Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, Mostafa Waziri, said in a statement from Egypt’s Ministry of Antiquities that “the significance of the find lies in the fact that preliminary data within the tomb so far indicate that it probably dates back to time of the rule of Thutmose of the Eighteenth Dynasty”.

“This data is what will be verified in the near future during the archaeological documentation of the tomb,” Waziri clarified.

For his part, the director of the archaeological site of the western valleys, Mohsen Kamelhe explained that the discovered tomb “is in poor condition due to the rains that fell during ancient times, which flooded its chambers with dense residues of sand and limestone, which led to the obfuscation of its characteristics and records”.

The head of mission for the English side, Perez Lezerlandsays in the note that the discovered tomb could “belong to one of the women queens or princesses during the era of the Thutmoses, of which so far not much has been discovered”.

This era of the Eighteenth Dynasty is considered one of those of maximum splendor in the pharaonic civilization.

The discovery of this tomb is the latest in a series of discoveries that Egypt has promoted in recent years in the hope of attracting more tourists. EFE extension
