Egypt unveiled a 4,400-year-old tomb on Saturday. The site was discovered in early April in the Saqqara burial site in the Giza Governorate.
The tomb belonged to a Fifth Dynasty nobleman named Khuwy and consisted of chambers and sub- chambers decorated in colourful reliefs and well-preserved inscriptions.
Secretary General of Supreme Council for Egyptian Antiquities Mostafa el-Waziry said archaeologists were able to identify fingerprints of the tomb's painter.
A group of reportedly 52 foreign ambassadors and cultural attaches, among them Egyptian actress Yousra, accompanied Waziry at the unveiling ceremony.
