This helps scientists get a new perspective on the relationship between ancient Egypt and neighboring eastern countries.

The tomb and coffin of Ken-Amum, who oversees royal records in the 19th dynasty (1315-1201 BC), of the Ramesside period, was found in Maskhuta village, near Ismailia.

Constructed with mud bricks, the crypt area includes a rectangular room with vaulted ceilings made of stone.

In the crypt, Egyptian archaeologists found a large limestone casket covered with inscriptions.

Beautifully decorated, this crypt depicts scenes from the "Book of Death".

Zahi Hawass also announced that excavations will continue and 35 other Roman tombs have been discovered in the immediate vicinity.
