Lost tomb of Amenhotep rediscovered

Belgian archaeologists have rediscovered an ancient Egyptian tomb that had been lost for decades under sand. In 1880 Swedish Egyptologist Karl Piehl uncovered the tomb of Amenhotep, the deputy seal-bearer of Pharaoh Tuthmosis III. The tomb consists of an enclosure and a large hall divided into two parts by six columns. Laurent Bavay, the head of the Belgian team, said most of the inscriptions on the walls of the tomb were damaged.
