Part of 3,600-year-old tomb of mystery Egyptian king (Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities)
Archaeologists in Egypt discovered the tomb of an unidentified pharaoh who ruled approximately 3,600 years ago during a period of political instability.
The tomb, located at the ancient Mount Anubis necropolis in Abydos, contains a limestone burial chamber with mudbrick vaults.
While the pharaoh's name remains unknown, faded inscriptions suggest a royal connection, with some similarities to King Senebkay's tomb.
The tomb's size suggests it predates other known mausoleums from the Abydos Dynasty.
A nearby Roman-era pottery workshop, later used as a cemetery, was also unearthed, revealing details about ancient commerce and burial practices.
