Egypt has uncovered a new set of previously undiscovered tombs. These tombs are estimated to be 4,300 years old.

Egyptian officials said the tombs were discovered in Saqqara, 19 miles south of Cairo. They date back to the Fifth and Sixth dynasties of the Old Kingdom, according to ABC News.

Egyptologist and leader of the discovery team Zahi Hawass said that his team discovered 12 statues and two burial shafts. Hawass said one of these tomb shafts contained what might be the “most complete mummy found in Egypt to date.”

This tomb contained the body of a man named Hekashepes. Hawass said this mummy was the oldest and most complete non-royal mummy ever discovered.

“The most important tomb belongs to Khnumdjedef, an inspector of the officials, a supervisor of the nobles, and a priest in the pyramid complex of Unas, the last king of the fifth dynasty,” said Hawass. “The tomb is decorated with scenes of daily life,” he continued.

The research team also discovered another tomb belonged to Meri, who held “important titles, such as keeper of the secrets and assistant of the great leader of the palace.”

The team discovered a third tomb belonging to a priest in the pyramid complex of Unas and a fourth tomb of a man named Fetek, who was a judge and writer.

Mostafa Waziri, secretary-general of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, said that Fetek’s tomb contained “the largest statues” ever discovered in that area, according to Phys.org.

The discovery is one of many archaeological finds that the nation hopes will revitalize its tourism industry.

Official records say that travel and tourism accounted for 5.1 percent of Egypt’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2021. This number dropped from 8.5 percent in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic and reached a record low of 4.3 percent in 2020.

The Egyptian government plans to use this discovery along with the Grand Egyptian Museum and others and to bring in 30 million tourists annually by 2028, up from 13 million.

The Grand Egyptian Museum — which has been in the works since 2002 — is anticipated to open in 2023. It is expected to be the largest archaeological museum complex in the world, playing host to more than 100,000 artifacts.
