CAIRO, EGYPT—The KU Leuven archaeology mission announced on their Facebook page (KU Leuven - Egyptologie) that a section of a wall relief had been removed from the wall of the 3,850-year-old tomb of Djehutyhotep, located in the necropolis of Deir el-Bersha, where they had been excavating. “A small scene to the east of the entrance has been hacked out. It was damaged already in Newberry’s day (1891-1892), but it still showed the well preserved top part of a man carrying a chest towards Djehutyhotep. It was also one of the few reliefs where the head of a figure was still in good condition,” Monica Hanna, co-founder of Egypt’s Heritage Task Force, told The Cairo Post. Djehutyhotep is thought to have been a provincial governor during the 12th Dynasty. To read about a recently excavated temple in Sudan, see "The Cult of Amun."
