Royal Tomb Dating Back 3,500 Years Unearthed in Abydos, Egypt, Along with Roman-Era Pottery Workshop

A royal tomb over 3,500 years old has been discovered in Abydos, Egypt, according to the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities. An archaeological team from the University of Pennsylvania unearthed the tomb in the Gebel Anubis necropolis, dating it to the Second Intermediate Period (1700-1600 BCE). The find provides new evidence regarding the development of royal tombs in the Gebel Anubis necropolis. Separately, another archaeological team affiliated with the Supreme Council of Antiquities found a Roman-era pottery workshop in the village of Banavit. The Banavit workshop was one of the largest production centers supplying pottery and glass to the Ninth Region in ancient times. These discoveries are expected to enhance Egypt's historical significance and contribute to archaeological research.
