Minister of Antiquities Dr. Khaled El-Enany, accompanied by Dr. Mostafa Waziri, Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, inspected the work of the Ministry of Antiquities' archaeological mission at the Al-Assasif necropolis on the West Bank of Luxor, which the day before yesterday succeeded in unveiling a huge cache of colored anthropoid coffins, the details of which will be announced next Saturday morning at a press conference in West Luxor.
The discovery is one of the largest and most important announced in the past few years, as it so far includes more than 20 colored anthropoid wooden coffins in an excellent state of preservation, with their colors and inscriptions complete, and still sealed. They were uncovered in the position in which the ancient Egyptians left them, having been found grouped together in a cache on two levels, one above the other.
