LUXOR, EGYPT—NBC News reports that a 4,000-year-old tomb has been discovered by a Spanish team of archaeologists in Luxor. “The dimensions are considerable, leaving no doubt that the tomb belonged to a member of the royal family or a senior courtier,” Jose Galan, leader of the Djehuty Project, said in a press release. The tomb dates to the 11th Dynasty, when Upper and Lower Egypt were united under pharaonic rule from Thebes, now modern-day Luxor. But according to Ali al-Asfar, of Egypt’s antiquities ministry, the tomb was reused 400 years later as a mass grave.
