Five rock-hewn tombs have been unearthed in southern Egypt, said an Egyptian official Wednesday.
Excavators found inside the tombs, dating back to the old kingdom, engravings and hieroglyphic inscriptions, added Gaballah Ali Gaballah, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA).
He said that during restoration of the cemetery of Akhmim in the south Egyptian town of Suhag, the five tombs had been found.
One tomb, which belonged to a pharaonic princess, is composed of five chambers. Others, made of one chamber each, belonged to ordinary people, said Yehia El-Masry, the director general of south Egyptian Antiquities zone.
Except for stony pharaonic, they have no engravings or inscriptions, he elaborated.
