  • 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.
