Rare Middle-Class Tomb Found From Ancient Egypt
An unrobbed middle-class tomb dating back to the Old Kingdom in Egypt has been discovered.
Archaeologists have unsealed the intact burial chamber of an ancient Egyptian official, providing a rare glimpse into the burial customs of the Old Kingdom's middle class.
The relatively modest tomb, belonging to a fifth dynasty priest and politician named Neferinpu, was discovered in 2006 at Abusir, the ancient necropolis of the fifth and 26th dynasties, located near modern-day Cairo.
Now that's what I call a time capsule!
