An Egyptian archaeological mission has unearthed a group of previously unknown tombs at the Bahariya Oasis.
Experts have dated the burials to the Late Period and the later Roman period of Egyptian history.
Within the tombs, the team recovered sarcophagi skilfully carved from local limestone.
Each stone coffin held a mummy that had been carefully wrapped in linen bandages.
Alongside the human remains, the archaeologists documented a range of accompanying artifacts.
These finds offer fresh insight into the beliefs and everyday lives of the oasis community.
Scholars say the discovery significantly enriches our understanding of this remote corner of ancient Egypt.
