Archaeologists in Egypt<\/a> have uncovered rare papyrus scrolls \u2014 and the “valuable” items are yielding remarkable insights.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The eight rare papyri, found along with a “cache of colorful coffins of Amun chanters,” date back to the Third Intermediate Period<\/a>, which lasted from 1070 B.C. to 664 B.C. The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities announced the discovery just last month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The scrolls were uncovered during an excavation in the Qurna area on Luxor’s West Bank, near the tomb of Seneb.<\/p>\n

Excavators found the ancient scrolls in a large pottery vessel, with some even bearing their original, 3,000-year-old clay seals.<\/p>\n

“They vary in size and are considered a valuable source of information, with the world<\/a> awaiting the results following their restoration and translation,” the translated release said.<\/p>\n

The coffins of Amun chanters \u2014 temple singers dedicated to the god Amun \u2014 were found stacked in a rock-carved rectangular funerary chamber.<\/p>\n

Officials said that ancient Egyptians “maximized space by arranging the coffins in 10 horizontal rows and separating the lids from the boxes to increase the chamber\u2019s capacity.”<\/p>\n

The wood was in “poor condition,” the statement noted \u2014 prompting urgent work to preserve them.<\/p>\n

“The mission’s restoration team carried out urgent conservation work, including treatment of deteriorating wood fibers and weakened painted plaster layer, [as well as] careful mechanical cleaning to remove deposits without affecting the vibrant colors,” the release added.<\/p>\n

Archaeologists are currently trying to identify the occupants \u2014 a significant challenge, as the coffins display the decedents’ titles rather than their names.<\/p>\n

“The most common title is ‘Chanter(s) of Amun,’ opening new avenues for studying the class of chanters and singers<\/a> during that period,” officials said.<\/p>\n

Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Sherif Fathy said the discovery “represents a significant addition to Egypt\u2019s record of distinguished archaeological finds.”<\/p>\n

“It reflects the full and ongoing support provided by the Egyptian state for archaeological research, as part of a comprehensive strategy to preserve cultural heritage and highlight its civilizational and human value,” he noted.<\/p>\n

The discovery is the latest in a string of recent notable<\/a> archaeological finds in Egypt.<\/p>\n

In December, officials said they found a “pleasure boat”<\/a> near Cleopatra VII’s palace in the royal harbor of Alexandria.<\/p>\n

In October, archaeologists found a fortress<\/a> that was built along the ancient military road mentioned in the Book of Exodus.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
