The 18th Dynasty tomb included five mummies in intact sarcophagi with coloured funerary masks along with more than 20 large storage jars, sealed with pharaonic seals, Zahi Hawass, head of the Supreme Council of Antiquities said in a statement.

| #2 I watched the Discovery show on Nefertiti of the 18th Dynasty last night. It was really interesting. This woman (Egyptologist) figured out who/where she was just from looking into an Egyptian wig found in a museum. This will be great because we have better forensics now and this tomb will not have been disturbed. |
