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.
