Discovered tomb with 3600 years of mysterious Guerreiro Pharaoh in Egypt

Pharaoh’s identity is still unknown, but scientists believe it will belong to the mysterious dynasty of Abydos, of which it is still known.

A team of archaeologists discovered the tomb of a Pharaoh so far unknown In the mountain of Anubis, Egypt.

The tomb, buried under 9 meters of sand In the necropolis of Abydos, dated 3600 years ago, from the second intermediate period of Egypt (1640-1540 BC), when groups at war disputed the control of the territory.

Led by Josef Wegner of the University of Pennsylvania, the investigation team believes that the tomb belongs to One of the kings of the Dynasty of Abydosa group of warrior rulers about which little is known. The identity of the newly discovered pharaoh remains a mystery, since the tombs looters damaged the hieroglyphs with their name. However, the size of the tomb and the decorative characteristics indicate that its occupant was a powerful ruler.

This discovery is followed by Wegner’s previous finding in 2014 of Pharaoh’s tomb Seneb Kay, who gave proof of the brutal war of the time. Seneb Kay’s skeleton had 22 injuries, which suggests that Died in combat. Around their tomb, the investigators identified seven other sites of Kings of Abydos. The last discovery marks the ninth real tomb found in the area.

The tomb presents a Series of cameras with vaulted ceilings almost 5 meters high that lead to a funeral chamber of limestone. The elaborate construction may have attracted thieves of tombs, which looted the site and damaged the name of the king, according to.

However, investigators continue to hope to confirm Pharaoh’s identity. Its best clues include canopic vials – ceramic containers used to store the organs of a mummy. If they are found intact, they may contain the ruler’s nameproviding a definitive proof of your identity.

Wegner suspects that the tomb may belong to one of the two known kings of Abydos, Senaiib or Paentjeni, who have not yet been associated to a burial place. Other excavations in the area may reveal more information about this enigmatic Pharaoh and the role of the Dynasty of Abydos in the formation of Egyptian history.

The team plans to resume excavations this summer, focusing on the surrounding area to look for more clues. The discovery reinforces the importance of the mountain of Anubis as a royal cemetery, comparable to the Egyptian Valley of Kings.

“We realize it’s a complete real cemetery,” said Wegner. “Like a valley of kings.”
