Archaeologists have uncovered a 3,000-year-old tomb near the southern Egyptian city of Luxor, marking another significant archaeological discovery expected to strengthen the country's tourism industry.
According to Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, the tomb was discovered by a Dutch archaeological team from Leiden University at the Sheikh Abd el-Qurna necropolis on Luxor's West Bank.
Experts believe the tomb belonged to a man named Paser and dates back to the Ramesside period, covering Egypt's 19th and 20th dynasties. The conclusion was based on the artistic style of the inscriptions found inside the burial site.
The tomb follows the traditional design of private Theban tombs from the New Kingdom (1570–1069 BC). It features an open courtyard leading to a rock-cut chapel shaped like an inverted "T," with underground burial chambers.
Archaeologists also uncovered well-preserved architectural features, including a mudbrick bench used to support a funerary stela and a staircase with sloping ramps leading to the entrance.
Inside the tomb, inscriptions bearing Paser's name depict him worshipping several Egyptian deities and sitting alongside his wife before an offering table.
Researchers said further excavation and analysis will continue to determine who was buried in the tomb and to gain a deeper understanding of its historical and archaeological significance.
The discovery comes as Egypt continues to promote its rich archaeological heritage to attract more international tourists. Luxor remains one of the world's most important destinations for ancient Egyptian monuments and historical sites.
