[Regnum] A unique tomb, previously unknown, was discovered in Egypt by scientists from the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences near the famous pyramid complex in Giza. TASS reported this on November 13. It is specified that the Russian expedition led by Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor Eleonora Kormysheva discovered a rock tomb in the eastern part of the Giza necropolis, 300 meters from the Pyramid of Cheops. The researchers managed to clear a small hole through which the burial chamber can be seen. Archaeologists are preparing to completely open the entrance to it. "The tomb dates back to the Old Kingdom, to the reign of the 5th dynasty of Egyptian pharaohs. On the walls there are preserved inscriptions and reliefs depicting the owner of the tomb and his wife at a sacrificial table, as well as their full-length statues carved into the rock," Kormysheva said. It is specified that a small hole has been cleared, through which the remains of a wooden painted sarcophagus, whole ceramic vessels (usually supplies with which the deceased was supposed to go to the other world were placed in such vessels), as well as other objects, are visible in the burial chamber. Now archaeologists are preparing to completely open the entrance to the burial chamber. Earlier, Regnum News Agency reported that Egyptian archaeologists discovered a bronze sword of Pharaoh Ramses II during excavations in the province of El-Buheira. Archaeologists also discovered a number of adobe structures, including military barracks, weapons depots and food storage facilities. They were attributed to the era of the New Kingdom, the heyday of ancient Egyptian statehood (around 1550 - 1100 BC). |
