Tomb of Amun Temple Priest and 10 Hidden Coffins Discovered in Luxor

Egyptian authorities announced a significant archaeological discovery in the city of Luxor, as an archaeological mission unearthed a tomb belonging to a priest of the Temple of Amun — one of the most prominent pharaonic temples in ancient history — in an area rich with unique cultural heritage on the West Bank of the Nile.

The newly discovered site contained ten hidden coffins, which specialists believe date to successive pharaonic periods, making this find a qualitative addition to Egypt's rich archaeological record.

Luxor, known in antiquity as Thebes and once the capital of ancient Egyptian civilization, ranks among the most prolific regions globally for archaeological discoveries. Egyptian and international missions working in Upper Egypt continue to unearth new treasures that deepen humanity's understanding of pharaonic civilization and the pharaohs' ancient spiritual and religious legacy.
