In June 2025, a team of Egyptian and American archaeologists found an ancient tomb during a regular dig near the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, Egypt. The tomb is believed to be more than 3,500 years old, from the 18th Dynasty, when pharaohs like Hatshepsut and Tutankhamun ruled. The tomb may have belonged to a royal official who worked in the palace. The discovery is considered extraordinary because tombs from this period are very hard to find. Experts said that the design and decorations help explain how people lived and were buried in that time.

Inside the tomb, researchers found colorful wall paintings, pottery, and a wooden coffin. The team is now working carefully to protect the site. The area had flood damage, so the work must be done with precision. Experts believe the tomb will give more knowledge about people who were not kings but were still important. The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities hopes this find will support tourism in Luxor. This discovery could stimulate new interest in Egypt’s history and bring in more visitors. Many researchers see the project as a joint mission that shows how teams from different countries can work together. The tomb gives a valuable look into the past and may lead to more finds in the future.
