The tomb dates from 4,500 years ago, and has a cemetery of workers along with supervisors of the works.

Egypt’s Ministry of Antiquities announced that it was to be opened this week, part of a drive to open more ancient sites in the area.

In his book Valley of the Golden Mummies, researcher Zahi Hawass said that the tombs included the warning, ‘All people who enter this tomb who will make evil against this tomb and destroy it may the crocodile be against them in water, and snakes against them on land.
‘May the hippopotamus be against them in water, the scorpion against them on land.’
