April 29 (UPI) -- Egypt announced Thursday that archaeologists recently discovered more than 100 rare tombs dating back three different ancient civilizations.

The archaeological finds were made during excavations led by Sayed Al-Talhawi in the Kom al-Khaljan in the Daqahliya governorate. The finds were announced by the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.

The discoveries covered the civilizations known as Bhutto 1 and 2 around 3100 B.C.; Naqada III, about 3000 B.C.; and the second transition era known as the Hyksos period, 1650 to 1550 B.C.

Mustafa Waziri, secretary-general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, called the findings "an important historical and archaeological addition to the site."
