An Hispano-Egyptian archaeological mission discovered an exceptional tomb from the end of the Egyptian V Dynasty in Saqqara, estimated at approximately 4,400 years old.
The tomb, found in an excellent state of preservation, has two funerary chapels inside, evidencing the importance of the tomb's owner at the time.
The reliefs on the tomb walls represent agricultural scenes and offering processions, depicting daily activities and funerary rituals characteristic of the period.
One of the most notable aspects of the discovery is that the colors of the reliefs still retain their original tone, a rare fact in Egyptian archaeology that allows a more faithful view of the funerary art of the time.
