VOICED : Descubren momias y figuras funerarias en antigua tumba egipcia

Archaeologists discovered a tomb near Luxor, Egypt, containing eight mummies from the era of the pharaohs, dating back 3,500 years. The tomb belonged to Userhat, a judge from the 18th dynasty. It was later reused during the 21st dynasty, a period known for tomb raiding. A secret room within the tomb contained several sarcophagi, which, although damaged, remained in their original positions. Additional findings included ceiling engravings, skeletons, paintings, and nearly a thousand small funerary statues called sushepti. The Ministry of Antiquities emphasized the significance of the discovery, noting that the exploration is ongoing.
