Ancient Tomb Discovered By Dutch
Jun 5th, 2007 by Lee (admin)
Not to be undone by Belgian archaeologists, a Dutch team has recently discovered a new tomb in Egypt.
South-west of Cairo, at Saqqara, the 3500 year old tomb belongs to a high ranking priest of the god Aton. His name was Meri Neet and he served under the pharoah Akhenaton.
Though the burial chamber was found mostly intact, the mummy unfortunately was not present. However stone slabs and utensils were recovered.
The Dutch team now awaits approval from Egypt’s Culture Minister in order to gain the necessary funding to continue the excavation.
