Moar tombs and and mummies:
Tomb KV 40 containing the newly discovered remains. Most of the walls and ceilings are black from heavy fire. A wall painting, dating back over 4300 years, has been discovered in a tomb located just east of the Great Pyramid of Giza. The mummy, now reduced to a skeleton, is believed to be that of Qenamun, the chief steward of Amenhotep II (about 1427-1400 B.C.) who was the 7th Pharaoh of Egypt's 18th Dynasty and likely Tutankhamun's great-great-grandfather. An ancient Egyptian mummy found with an intact brain, but no heart, has a plaque on her abdomen that may have been intended to ritually heal her. The woman probably lived around 1700 years ago. Dating back around 3300 years this tomb was discovered recently at an ancient cemetery at Abydos in Egypt. At left the rectangular entrance shaft with massive walls served as a base for a small pyramid that was an estimated 23 feet. |

One of my dreams while I was growing up was becoming an Egyptologist and discovering the next big tomb. Being a Present Day Howard Carter!
Could you imagine that? Digging digging through sand and rock... then bam! A door... and you look inside and nothing but Gold-everything.. Stepping inside a place no other person has been in for thousands and thousands of years... must be so magical. |

The stunning tomb of an ancient Egyptian brewer has been found on the west bank of the Nile. Paintings on the walls depict scenes of worship and daily life from 3000 years ago. While clearing the forecourt to a tomb numbered TT47, which had belonged to an 18th-dynasty royal official, the team discovered the entrance to Khonso Im-Heb's T-shaped tomb.
