Filled with skeletons, coffins and eagle mummies, the tomb was found just near the entrance point of the archaeological site.
Simply cut into limestone, the burial, which dates to the 26th Dynasty (664 -525 B.C.), extends from a large rock-hewn hall into a number of corridors and small rooms. Inside, the archaeologists found several coffins, skeletons and pots.
