3,000 Year Old ‘Surprising Treasure’ Found in 1 Meter Shaft Revealed

Now known as TT320, the ancient Egyptian tomb is located next to the Deir el-Bahri, in the Theban Necropolis, opposite Luxor. It is thought to have initially been the last resting place of High Priest of Amun Pinedjem II, his wife Nesikhons, and other close family members. However, Pinudjem II died around 969 BCE, in a time of the decline of the Egyptian kingdom, during which mummies from former dynasties were vulnerable to grave robbery.
