A groundbreaking discovery has been made in the necropolis of Saqqara, approximately 20 miles south of Cairo, where archaeologists unveiled an ancient Egyptian tomb carved into rock over 4000 years ago.

The tomb, a result of collaborative efforts between Egyptian and Japanese archaeologists, dates back between 2649 and 2150 BC and contains multiple graves and artifacts spanning different historical periods.

Confirmed by Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, the tomb provides invaluable insights into the region’s history, according to Nozomu Kawai, the head of the Japanese team.

Among the treasures uncovered are a Second Dynasty child burial, a well-preserved alabaster vessel from the 18th Dynasty (1550-1295 BC), and terracotta statues depicting Isis and Harpocrates, Euro News reported.
