Egypt unveils 'one of a kind' ancient tomb

Archaeologists in Egypt have discovered a 4,400-year-old-tomb which was the final resting place for a high priest.

The find was described by an official as "one of a kind in the last decades", and is located in the Saqqara pyramid complex near Cairo.

It is filled with colourful hieroglyphs and statues of pharaohs, while decorative scenes show the owner - a royal priest named Wahtye - with relatives.

More buried treasure is expected to be unearthed as the tomb is excavated further.
