The double tomb belonged to a person called Behnui-Ka, who held the titles of purification priest and top judge during the Old Kingdom of Egypt, and another priest called Nwi, who was titled "the purifier of King Khafre".
The tomb is part of an ancient cemetery, which was partially unearthed during excavations in the south-eastern side of the pyramids area. Egypt in recent months has announced a series of ancient discoveries. Authorities hope that these discoveries will help revive the country's tourism industry, which is a main source of national income.
