German archaeologists have found a wooden coffin in the southern city of Luxor (Egypt), which is a rare wooden coffin for nearly two centuries.

The coffin is 2.7m long, 1.5m high and 1m wide, dating back to the 13th reign of the year 1785-1680 BC, believed to be the largest wooden coffin.

Hieroglyphs on the surface of the coffin show that it belongs to an Egyptian official named "Amni", but the words found inside indicate it belongs to a woman named Jehset - it is Amni's wife. Archaeologists have not yet determined why this coffin was redone and passed to his wife.

No coffin was found in the coffin, it was probably stolen. The inside of the coffin also had other hieroglyphs, beautifully painted depicting the funeral scene.

The coffin was in good condition, found in a room with 3 rooms. Two other rooms were built facing the west. The coffin is the smaller third room, facing north. Many items in the ark were lost, leaving only a few pieces of handmade pottery.
