Archaeologists Discover 3,000-Year-Old Tomb With Colorful Murals Inside
Reported byMy Modern Met ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
A Dutch mission from Leiden University uncovered a previously unknown tomb in Luxor's Lower Sheikh Abd el-Qurna area dating to roughly 3,000 years ago during the Ramesside Period. The tomb, owned by a man named Paser, preserves painted scenes showing him worshipping Egyptian deities and appearing with his wife before an offering table, providing insight into New Kingdom burial practices and funerary traditions.
The paintings remain covered by a thin layer of dirt; archaeologists have not yet fully exposed their detail.
