A team of archaeologists has discovered an ancient tomb in Egypt, which is believed to be 4,200-year-old. Archaeologists are trying to enter the mysterious tomb for a forgotten pharaoh they believe to be buried in a new tomb.
The researchers say the find is promising, adding that it is possible the tomb could hold a pharaoh. The team will excavate the tomb further in April next year. A 6.5 foot (two-metre) high ancient encroachment wall has been discovered below a visitors' pathway in the northern part of the West Aswan cemetery at Qubbet el-Hawa, Dailymail reported.
A 3,800-year-old ancient Egyptian mummy was also discovered in the same location earlier this year, who experts hope may turn out to have been one of the most important figures in the civilisation's history.
The unexpected discovery came during an expedition led by researchers from the University of Birmingham.
