A lost ancient Egyptian tomb has been rediscovered by archaeologists in the desert sands south of Cairo. The 3,300-year-old tomb is believed to belong to a mayor of the ancient capital of Memphis.
It was originally discovered by artefact hunters in the 19th Century, who then lost the tomb's location.
The tomb was located by a team of Egyptian researchers after a five-year search and they are hopeful mummified remains are still inside.

The tomb belongs to Ptahmes, who was also army chief, overseer of the treasury and a royal scribe under the Pharaohs Seti I and his son Ramses II, during the 13th Century BC.
