CAIRO- 18 April 2017: A new tomb has been discovered in Luxor’s west bank, which belongs to the first judge in the18th Dynasty, said Khaled el-Anany, Minister of Antiquities on Tuesday.

The new tomb, he said, includes hundreds of mummies and ancient pharaonic artifacts and was discovered by a purely Egyptian team.

This is the second discovery during this week. Remains of an ancient tomb were discovered in Badrashin, south of Giza, yesterday during an attempt by five people to illegally dig beneath one house.
