Egypt Ancient Tombs

Two new tombs dating back to 4,300 years ago were found buried in the sands south of Cairo and could shed light on the fifth and the sixth dynasties of the Old Kingdom- reign of Pharaoh Unas. Both tombs feature hieroglyphics at their entrances but the contents of the tombs have long since been stolen. The entrance of the tomb shows carved images of lotus flowers.

The death of Unas brought the Fifth Dynasty to an end; the Sixth Dynasty, a time of conflict in Egypt's royal family and erosion of centralized power, is considered to be the last dynasty of the Old Kingdom (2,613-2,494 BC), after which Egypt descended into famine and social upheaval.

The discovery of the two tombs are just the beginning of a big, large cemetery, 70 percent of Egypt's ancient monuments remain buried under sand.
