French researchers have discovered a tomb from the Middle Kingdom era in the Egyptian city of Luxor, as part of a research project launched after the discovery of five tombs in the same site in 2018 and 2019. According to one of the team members, the discovery was made on December 16, during a two-month mission. The tomb is considered important from several angles, as it provides clarification on an important anthropological question about how ancient Egyptians handled mummified bodies and the remains of their ancestors when they discovered old tombs and had to move them during major construction projects. The tomb is a reburial process. The discoveries made in 2018 and 2019 were of five tombs from the New Kingdom era (14th to 9th centuries BC), which were reburied. This new mission aimed to understand the nature of the 2018 and 2019 discoveries and their magnitude by investigating whether the five tombs form a single tomb or part of a larger reburial process. Workers are removing the tomb and excavating a layer of accumulated layers over more than 3,000 years, with a height of over eight meters, during three excavation campaigns that lasted six months. With this discovery, the answer to the question is starting to unfold, as the team worked only in the layer where the tomb is located, and excavation will resume with the next campaign in October 2025. The tomb, dating back to the Middle Kingdom era (21st to 18th centuries BC), is protected in a wooden box made specifically for it. The contents will be studied in 2025 in collaboration with specialized archaeologists in human remains excavation, using 3D modeling technology for each stage of the research, similar to what the team has been doing methodically since 2018.
