Egyptian archaeologists have discovered the tomb of a royal goldsmith containing the mummies of a woman and her two children, authorities have confirmed. The tomb, dating back to the New Kingdom (16th to 11th Centuries BC), was found near the Nile city of Luxor, 400 miles (700km) south of Cairo.
Among the items discovered inside was a statue of the goldsmith Amenemhat, sitting beside his wife. It is unclear whether the three mummies discovered are connected to Amenemhat. The mummies were found down a burial shaft leading off the main chamber, Egypt’s Ministry of Antiquities said.
