Archaeologists discover two ancient tombs in Egypt

Egyptian authorities have unearthed two ancient tombs in the southern city of Luxor. Wall inscriptions suggest the tombs belong to two notable figures from Egypt's 18th dynasty pharaohs, who ruled some 3,500 years ago. Egypt's Antiquities Ministry said Saturday the tombs contained mummies, funerary seals, statues, clay pots and wall inscriptions.

Khaled al-Enany, the minister of antiquities, said the archeological discovery was made in the western city of Luxor, a city famous for its ancient monuments. One tomb has five entrances leading to a hall, while the other has a six-meter burial shaft leading to four side chambers.

Although the authorities say the tombs most likely belong to the 18th dynasty pharaohs, those buried in them are yet to be identified.
