New fascinating discoveries near Luxor

Ancient tombs and rare objects revealed in the mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut, in the land of the pharaohs, Egypt!

In January 2025, archaeologists made incredible discoveries near the famous city of Luxor, Egypt. They uncovered tombs and burial pits dating back more than 3,600 years, near the mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut. These discoveries were made in the Valley of Deir el-Bahari, on the western bank of the Nile.

Among the objects found were bronze coins bearing the image of Alexander the Great, dating from the 3rd century BC, as well as clay children’s toys, funerary masks, and amulets.

Rock-cut tombs were also discovered, dating from the Middle Kingdom period (1938 BC – 1630 BC), with wooden coffins and war bows. These objects have allowed scientists to better understand the lives of the ancient Egyptians and discover clues about their beliefs and funerary practices.

The archaeologists also found tombs from a period earlier than that of Queen Hatshepsut, including the tomb of Djehuti-Mes, an ancient Egyptian official. Although many tombs have been looted over the centuries, these discoveries continue to reveal fascinating secrets about the history of ancient Egypt.

These discoveries highlight the importance of archaeological excavations and allow for a better understanding of the lives, culture, and beliefs of the ancient Egyptians.
