News from the Valley of the Kings

I picked up a copy of the free Metro paper this morning and there was a picture of a mummy case and the headline ... but frustratingly no text!  Fortunately Stuart Tyler came to the rescue with the link to the AP version of the story.  The tombs have been found at Lahoun un the Fayoum.  That's Lower Egypt so out of the scope for me here - but the beauty of running a blog is an ability to break the rules from time to time!

The tombs are from a variety of periods from the Old Kingdom through to the New Kingdom.  There's a copy of the story on the Hawass site as well which reports only 45 tombs.  Take your pick as to which is correct.  The AP version of the story though has more pictures but for visit both sites as the pictures are different.

Thanks Stuart.
