Czech Egyptologists discover 4,500 year-old tomb

Czech Egyptologists have discovered a priest’s tomb that is thought to be over 4,500 years old, reported Mladá Fronta on Saturday. The cleric’s tomb is said to be one of the most important discoveries of the last half-century. Egyptologists found the priest Neferinpu’s sarcophagus down a ten-metre deep pit. The tomb was undisturbed by grave-robbers when the Czech scientists found it. The small underground chamber held the remains of the priest Neferinpu and his family, alongside jewellery and ornaments.
