posted in Amazing Facts, Archaeology |
Two 4,000-year-old wooden statues have been found, that depict some divine scribe records and his wife were the primary finds made from a recently excavated mud-brick tomb near the ancient Egyptian necropolis of Saqqara, according to the archaeologists.
The discovery was a part of many other discoveries that were made recently in a cemetery that is south of Cairo, including the tomb of a royal cupbearer to the pharaoh Akhenaten, who ruled before the famous boy king Tutankhamen.
That tomb revealed colorful reliefs that show different artistic features that belong to Akhenaten’s reign.
