🔶 A 3,000-year-old tomb has been brought out of the ground in Egypt

Archaeologists near the city of Luxor, Egypt, have unearthed a 3,000-year-old tomb from the earth. Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities announced that the tomb, attributed to a man named “Paser,” was discovered by experts from Leiden University in an ancient cemetery in Sheikh Abd al-Qurna, near Luxor, in southern Egypt.

Based on the artistic style of the inscriptions, archaeologists concluded that this tomb belongs to the reign of Ramesses (from approximately 1292 to 1070 BCE).

The tomb, located to the east of another well-known funerary complex, follows the traditional pattern of tombs known as “Theban” from Egypt’s New Kingdom period (1570 to 1069 BCE).

The complex consists of an open courtyard that leads to a sanctuary carved into the rock, shaped like an upside-down “T” letter. Beneath this sanctuary there are also underground burial chambers.

According to Egypt’s Ministry of Antiquities, in the courtyard of the tomb archaeologists found several well-preserved architectural elements. Among these findings are a platform made of mud bricks for placing a memorial stele for the deceased, and a staircase that leads to the tomb’s entrance, flanked by two sloping surfaces.

Inside the tomb, inscriptions bearing the name “Paser” were also discovered. They depict him worshiping various gods in shrines and, along with his wife, seated across from an offering table while facing it.
