Egyptian archaeologists say they have discovered 30 mummies inside a 2,600-year-old tomb, in the latest round of excavations at the vast necropolis of Saqqara south of Cairo. Egypt's chief archeologist, Zahi Hawas, says the new tomb was found Sunday at the bottom of an 11-meter deep well. Eight of the mummies were in sarcophagi and the rest had been placed in niches in the wall. See also: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/world/6253732.html (with picture)

A number of elite tombs from Ancient Egypt are now accessible to all thanks to the launch of the Mastabase. The Mastabase is a CD-ROM containing descriptions and hieroglyphic inscriptions of scenes of daily life from 337 Mastaba tombs. This resource will make research into these elite tombs a lot easier. On 13 May 2008, Dutch Egyptologist René van Walsem will officially present the MastaBase in Leiden, Netherlands.

The 300 tombs are gouged out of the rock, all unpainted tombs except for two. The paintings had been damaged by the humidity caused by visitors' breath, and cracks were showing on its walls so that some parts of the paintings had even become detached from the base rock. Both tombs were closed in 1992 and several attempts were made to restore and consolidate them. Early this month the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) began a comprehensive project to rescue the tombs.

Three false doors inscribed with religious texts, two offering tables and a collection of clay vessels are the latest finds at the Ehnasya Al-Medina cemetery, lying on the west bank of the Nile almost 15km west of the Upper Egyptian city of Beni Sweif. Archaeologists now believe that parts of the necropolis were deliberately set on fire at some point in its history.
