Both tombs are very well preserved, to the extent that the drawings seem to be painted recently.

Recently, archaeologists in Egypt have announced that they have found 2 tombs that are considered the most strange ever. Strange in that although it dates back thousands of years, but the drawings, the characters inside are preserved so well that it looks like it's been painted.

Specifically, a tomb was found in Akhmim cemetery in Sohag district in Upper Egypt. According to the Egyptian Ministry of Archeology, the discovery of this tomb is also very coincidental, when all thanks to the arrest of a group of grave robbers who are transporting illegal objects. The tomb is dating back to 2000 years from the Ptolemaic period, the resting place of a respected official named Tutu and his wife.

The mausoleum has 2 chambers, inside there are 2 limestone sarcophagi, a mummy is well preserved, and the walls are painted elaborately. In addition, there are about 50 animal mummies also found, including oats, falcons, eagles, dogs, cats, and . shrews.

"This is one of the largest and most interesting discoveries ever in the region," - Mostafa Waziri from the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities said.

There are more than 50 mummies of animals in this tomb.

The remaining tomb is found in Saqqara cemetery even longer - from the time of pharaoh Djedkare Isesi 4000 years ago. It belongs to a high-ranking official named Khuwy, and this person seems to have a close relationship with pharaoh Djedkare Isesi. Because the entrance to the tomb is simulated as in the pyramid, while the color of the interior wall shows royal authority.

Experts say the tomb may reveal some secret information about the reign of pharaoh Djedkare Isesi, who ruled Egypt for 40 years, with very little record.

According to CNN, the tomb is designed in an L shape, with a small corridor, a small chamber connected to a main cellar. The interior murals depict Khuwy sitting next to the table.

There was also a mummy of Khuwy, along with a few jars of his organs. Unfortunately, these jars were broken.

It is known that experts in Egypt have struggled to announce new archaeological findings in the past few months, in order to improve the declining number of tourists. At the end of 2018, the Ministry of Archeology published two large tombs dating back to 3500 - 4400 years, belonging to a priest named Wahtye.

At the moment, experts assessing Tutu's tomb will attract the attention of the world, because they are so well preserved before the impact of time.
