In Egypt, during excavations on the west bank of Luxor, archaeologists discovered three tombs of statesmen of the New Kingdom era (1550-1070 BC). This was reported on May 26 by the Associated Press agency with reference to the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities of Egypt.

"Egyptian archaeologists have discovered tombs dating back to the New Kingdom period (1550-1070 BC), and identified the names and titles of their owners from inscriptions found inside, according to a statement from the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities," the publication says.

According to the Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities of Egypt, Mohammed Ismail Khaled, thanks to the images inside, experts were able to identify the names and titles of the owners of the tombs.

It is specified that one of the archaeological sites belonged to Amum-em-Ipet, who worked in the estate of Amun from the Ramessid period. The other two sites date back to the XVIII dynasty. According to the ministry, one of the tombs belonged to the caretaker of the granary, and the other belonged to the person in charge of the temple of Amun.

On April 18, archaeologists found the tomb of Pharaoh Userkaf's son, Prince Userefra, in Egypt, as well as a statue of Pharaoh Djoser. It was reported that the monument contained many hieroglyphic inscriptions, many of which described the name and titles of the late prince.
