The 3,500-year-old tomb of a royal goldsmith for an Egyptian pharaoh has been discovered in Luxor, Egypt. The tomb is in a cemetery for noblemen on the west bank of the Nile. One of two burial shafts holds damaged sandstone statues of the goldsmith, his wife, one of their sons, and three mummies. It also had pottery masks and more statues. The other shaft held some sarcophaguses from later periods. The Egyptian government is hoping this discovery will attract tourists back to the country.
