One: A handout picture released by the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities on Sept. 9 showing an Egyptian laborer looking at mummies arranged beside a broken sarcophagus at a newly uncovered ancient tomb. The tomb was for a goldsmith dedicated to the ancient Egyptian god Amun, and was located in the Draa Abul Naga necropolis on the west bank of the ancient city of Luxor, which boasts ancient Egyptian temples and burial grounds.
Two: An Egyptian archaeologist restores a wooden sarcophagus at a newly uncovered ancient tomb on Sept. 9. The tomb was for a royal goldsmith named Amenemhat, whose work was dedicated to the ancient Egyptian god Amun. The finds at the tomb, which dates back to the New Kingdom (16th to 11th centuries BC), when Amun was the most powerful deity, also included a sculpture carved into a recess of Amenemhat, seated beside his wife, with a portrait of their son painted between them. There were also another 150 small funerary statues carved in wood, clay and limestone.
Three: Skulls and bone remains lie next to a wooden sarcophagus at a newly uncovered ancient tomb for a goldsmith dedicated to the ancient Egyptian god Amun in this picture taken on Sept. 9. A burial shaft in the tomb led to a chamber where the archaeologists discovered mummies, funerary statues and masks. Another shaft led to a chamber where three more mummies, of a woman and two children, were found.
