Ancient tomb discovered in Egypt dating back 4,500 years

Egyptian archaeologists have recently discovered two ancient tombs at the Pyramids of Giza dating back 4,500 years ago. It was revealed by government officials that the tombs were belonging to two high ranking men who were part of King Khafre’s priests. One of the men in one of the tomb was named Behnui-Ka, who had seven titles including the Priest and the Judge to the Pharoah.

The Valley of the Kings is a valley in Egypt where rock-cut tombs were excavated for the Pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom (the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Dynasties of Ancient Egypt).

The area consists of two valleys, East Valley (where the majority of the royal tombs are situated) and West Valley.
