Three tombs from the New Kingdom, over 3,000 years old, were discovered near Luxor, Egypt. The tombs are believed to belong to three officials and feature inscriptions identifying their names and titles. One significant tomb belonged to Amun-em-Ipet, associated with the deity Amun. Although many scenes have been damaged, some depictions remain, including banquet scenes related to the Beautiful Festival of the Valley, demonstrating the ritual importance of feasting for both the living and the dead in ancient Egyptian culture.
"The tombs, which date back to the New Kingdom (around 1550-1070 BC), are believed to have belonged to three officials and were found by an all-Egyptian mission."
"Scenes in the tomb- which dates from the Ramesside period (around 1295-1069 BC)- have mostly been destroyed. However, depictions of furniture carriers and a banquet are among those still visible."
