Archaeologists in Egypt have discovered a 4,400-year-old tomb near
the country's famed pyramids at the Giza plateau just outside Cairo.
The tomb was unveiled to the media on Saturday,
According to the country's Antiquities Ministry, the tomb was found
in a wider area of Giza's western necropolis, which is known to be home
to tombs from the Old Kingdom.
The archaeologists say it likely belonged to a woman known as Hetpet,
who they believe was close to ancient Egyptian royals of the 5th
Dynasty more than four millennia ago.
The country's Ministry say the tomb is made of mud brick and includes
wall paintings in good condition depicting Hetpet observing different
hunting and fishing scenes.
