Egypt unearths 250 tombs dating back 4,200 years

CAIRO: Around 250 tombs dating back around 4,200 years have been unearthed by archaeologists in Egypt. The country’s archaeological mission of the Supreme Council of Antiquities made the finds in the southern province of Sohag. The graves, discovered in Sohag’s Al-Hamidiyah cemetery, included “some with a well or several burial wells and other cemeteries with a sloping corridor that ends with a burial room,” the Egyptian Antiquities Ministry said in a statement. Officials added that the tombs ranged in age from the end of the Old Kingdom to the end of the Ptolemaic period. The Old Kingdom lasted for around 500 years until 2200 B.C., while Egypt’s Ptolemaic dynasty ruled for 300 years to about the time of Cleopatra’s death in 30 B.C., according to AFP.
