Egypt reopens Amenhotep III’s tomb after over 20 years of renovation

Egypt has reopened the tomb of Pharaoh Amenhotep III in Luxor after more than two decades of Japanese-led restoration.

The tomb, located in the Valley of the Kings, features a 36-meter-long passage, a main burial chamber, and two chambers for his wives, with wall paintings depicting the pharaoh alongside ancient Egyptian gods.

Amenhotep III’s mummy was moved long ago to the tomb of his grandfather, Amenhotep II, and is now displayed at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization.

The reopening comes ahead of the Grand Egyptian Museum’s official inauguration on Nov. 1 near the Giza Pyramids, the Associated Press has reported.

Egypt aims to boost tourism, a key source of foreign currency, which suffered after the 2011 political unrest.
