Egyptian mission 🇪🇬 uncovers New Kingdom cemetery, papyrus in Minya
✔️The cemetery of senior officials and priests of the New Kingdom (c. 1550 BC–c. 1069 BC).
✔️Among the finds was a wooden coffin for a woman called Nany dating from the end of the 20th Dynasty. She was chantress of Djehouti, Egyptian god of the moon and writing.
✔️The team uncovered another coffin of Tadi Ist, daughter of the High Priest of Djehouti in Ashmunein.
✔️The inner part of the upper lid cover includes scenes representing the twelve hours.
✔️The mission also unearthed a papyrus. The first study shows its length is about 16 or 18 metres. Its inscriptions and scenes appear as if it were done yesterday.
