In another major archaeological discovery in the deserts of Egypt, officials unveiled a stunningly well-preserved tomb with inscriptions and colorful reliefs dating from more than 4,000 years ago.

The tomb, near Saqqara, a vast, ancient burial ground in Egypt south of the capital of Cairo, belonged to a senior official named Khuwy who is believed to have been a nobleman during the Fifth Dynasty, a period spanning the 25th to the 24th century BCE.
