Egypt, History, 5/19/2001
An ancient tomb of Nas I, mother of Gid-Khin-Su, ruler of Al-Wahat Al-Bahariya (Bahariya Oases), was unearthed Thursday, said Zahi Hawwas, Director of Cairo and Giza Antiquities Department.
Gaballah Ali Gaballah, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA), said that the rock-hewn tomb dates back to the era of the 26th Dynasty (2500 years ago). The number of tombs that belong to the family of Khin-Su hus hits seven, with only nine other tombs of the 26th Dynasty left.
Hawwas said excavation works will be resumed next September.
