Archaeologists Uncover 3,000-Year-Old Tomb Near Egypt’s Luxor
The private Theban tomb includes inscriptions naming Paser and a chapel, with specialists dating it to Egypt’s Ramesside period.
- On Sunday, a Dutch archaeological mission from Leiden University discovered a 3,000-year-old tomb belonging to a person named Paser in the lower Sheikh Abd El-Qurna area on Luxor's West Bank.
- Specialists believe the tomb dates to the Ramesside period, spanning Egypt's 19th and 20th dynasties, based on artistic style of its inscriptions and typical New Kingdom architecture.
- Paintings inside the tomb depict Paser worshipping deities and seated with his wife before an offering table, though sediment covers some sections of the decorated walls.
- Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Sherif Fathy praised the mission's efforts, while Hisham Al-Leithy, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council, stated the team will continue documenting to reconstruct identities of those buried within.
- Part of a research project ongoing since 2018, the discovery aligns with Egypt's efforts to promote archaeological sites to boost tourism, with plans for structural stabilization and restoration in future seasons.
