People visit newly unveiled archeological discoveries, including 4,000-year-old tombs of high-ranking officials and artwork from the time of Queen Hatshepsut, at an ancient necropolis in the famed city of Luxor. The artefacts, unearthed during a three-year-long excavation, were found in the Deir al-Bahari area in the necropolis of Thebes on the west bank of the Nile. The findings date from the time of the 15th dynasty 1650-1550 BC to the powerful 18th dynasty 1550-1292 BC, which included pharaohs such as Queen Hatshepsut and King Tutankhamun, according to renowned Egyptologist Zahi Hawass.
