Egypt announces astounding new archaeological discoveries

Numerous media representatives from various outlets traveled to Luxor to cover the important discovery, made near the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahri.

Both Reuters and AP news agencies spread the news of this discovery to all news agencies.

Even if we had spent millions of dollars on advertising, Egypt would not have received such positive publicity as it did when we announced the details of these new discoveries from Luxor’s West Bank, which continues to astound the world with their unparalleled artifacts.

Governor of Luxor, Abdel-Matallab Emara, the Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, Mohamed Ismail, and I, as the head of the Egyptian mission at Luxor’s West Bank, participated in the announcement of this astounding archaeological find.

This discovery includes royal artifacts that have not been revealed since the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb on November 4, 1922.

It will go down in history that on January 8, 2025, one of the biggest archaeological discoveries that astounded the world was announced – marking the beginning of a prosperous year for our beloved Egypt.

The assistant archaeologist overseeing the excavations, Tarek al-Awady, also organized a magnificent press conference.

He, along with the mission members, including archaeologists Abdel-Ghani al-Saidi, Mustafa Abdel-Shakur, and Mohamed Mohamed Mahmoud, the remarkable restorer Ahmed Farag Allah, and the talented artist Anahid Hassan responsible for archaeological drawings, utilized one of the newly discovered large rock-cut tombs at the site to display the discovered artifacts in a museum-like manner.

Employing advanced techniques, they preserved the larger artifacts, such as sarcophagi and massive carved and colored stone blocks, within their original niches and chambers in the tomb.
