Egypt Ancient Tomb

An ancient tomb containing a well-preserved Egyptian mummy in a limestone sarcophagus and a collection of 180 ushabti figurines have been found in a newly-discovered tomb in Egypt’s northern province of Dakahliya.

Archaeologists uncovered the burial during routing excavation work at the Tel Tabla archaeological site in the Delta city of Dakahliya.  The tomb is a mud brick mastaba tomb (meaning “house for eternity”) dating back to the Late Ancient Egyptian period (712-323 BC) and contains a number of burial shafts.
