Yet another Egyptian pharoahs tomb found....Senebkay

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2540423/Mystery-tomb-identified-wall-decoration-Discovery-pharoah-Senebkays-resting-place-lead-royal-finds.html

The tomb of an unknown ruler has been discovered, which could help archaeologists find more lost Ancient Egyptian pharaohs.

Experts identified the tomb of Senebkay by an inscription on the wall of his burial chamber, which was unearthed at the Abydos archaeological site, near the city of Sohag, Egypt.

It is the first time that any trace of the pharaoh has been found.

It is thought that Senebkay lived around 3,650 years ago at a time when rulers battled for power before the rise of Egypt’s New Kingdom in 1550 BC.
