Archaeologists in Egypt have discovered two ancient tombs belonging to a father-son duo, believed to be some 4,300 years old.
The two colourful tombs belong to a father and his son from the 6th Dynasty and were found west of the Step Pyramid in Sakkara district by an Egyptian team that has been excavating here since 1986, Culture Minister Farouk Hosni today said.
"The first tomb, of the father, has a beautiful false door depicting him sitting in front of the table of sacrifices, which means that he was holding important positions during that period," Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities Zahi Hawas said.
