In another major archaeological discovery in the deserts of Egypt, officials unveiled a stunningly well-preserved tomb with inscriptions and colorful reliefs dating from more than 4,000 years ago.

The tomb, near Saqqara, a vast, ancient burial ground in Egypt south of the capital of Cairo, belonged to a senior official named Khuwy who is believed to have been a nobleman during the Fifth Dynasty, a period spanning the 25th to the 24th century BCE.

1. I've had the privilege of visiting several tombs in Luxor, but none so well preserved

The brilliant colors of the wall paintings still intact (unfortunately the CO2 of tourists has caused degradation to many others)

2. Amazing vibrant artwork on the walls and throughout the tomb.
