An
Egyptian archaeological mission working in the al-Ghuraifah area in Minya Governorate has
uncovered the tomb of a royal treasury supervisor named “Badi
Est”.
Stone statues and other archaeological findings within indicated that the tomb
was well-preserved.
The tomb consists of a burial well that is ten meters deep, leading to a large
room with niches engraved in the rock and closed with regular stone slabs, said
the Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities and Head of the
Mission Mostafa Waziry.
Inside were two stone statues, one for Apis the bull god and the other of a
woman, he added. A canopic vessel was also found, made of alabaster in the form
of the four sons of Horus.
On the vessel, the titles and names of the deceased were engraved, Waziry
noted.
He added that 400 blue and green Ushabti statues bearing the name of the
deceased were also found, alongside six graves for his family members
containing nearly a thousand faience statues and sets of utensils.
