During the excavation process, Myriam Seco and the team of experts discovered a wooden coffin and mummy women were destroyed. The study site is a graveyard under the temple of pharaoh Thutmosis III, on the west bank of the Nille river in Luxor city, south of Egypt.

According to the analysis, this woman, when she was about 30 years old, belonged to a high social class, could live at 2137-1781 BC. During the 4,000 years, the mummy and the coffin were under a collapsed roof, so the jewelry was still intact without being stolen.

This person was buried with a necklace with precious stones, gold pieces and attached pendants also made of gold. In the coffin, the experts also found two golden bracelets, made from two twisted pieces together, with a silver bracelet on the ankles. The gold pendant and the two rings are still in a state of intact preservation, the rings at the feet are worn out, Discovery News said.

Combining many previous data, researchers believe that a burial site was built beneath the temple of Thutmosis III. The important and wealthy people in this period rested here.
