In June 2025, Egyptian and American experts found an old tomb in Luxor, Egypt. It was near the Valley of the Kings. This place is known for the tombs of pharaohs. The tomb is more than 3,500 years old. It comes from the 18th Dynasty. The tomb may have belonged to a worker in the palace. The tomb is hard to find, so the discovery is very significant. Experts shared that the pictures and items inside the tomb help show life during that time.
The team found many things inside the tomb. These include a wooden box, pottery, and wall art. The area has some flood damage, so the team must be careful. The goal is to keep the site safe. Experts think this find is very meaningful. It can help people learn more about the past. The Ministry said the discovery can help tourism in Egypt. It may also bring new attention to Luxor. The project is a collaborative work between countries. This finding is also informative for future research.
