Egypt announces discovery of 4,400-year-old tomb
Egypt has announced the discovery of a private tomb belonging to a senior official from the 5th dynasty of the pharaohs, which ruled roughly 4,400 years ago.
Antiquities Minister Khaled al-Anani announced the find at the site of the tomb in Saqqara, just west of Cairo, which is also home to the famed Step Pyramid.
He says the "exceptionally well-preserved" tomb contains scores of statues of different sizes and colors.
